description Hardiness characterizes the degree of formation the ability to withstand a stressful situation, maintain internal balance, without reducing the success of activities and is the foundation of personal characteristics. The purpose of the study is to identify personal resources and determine their impact on hardiness. Methods of the research. The following methods were used to identify personal resources and determine their impact on hardiness: Maddi’s Hardiness Scale; Shostrom’s Personal Orientation Inventory; Sheldon’s Self Determination Scale; Crumbaugh Purpose in Life Test; Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-being; Wiesbaden Inventory for Positive Psychotherapy and Family Therapy. The sample of our study consisted of 807 people, aged from 14 to 70 years, different in terms of education, professional employment, specialty, family and social status and from different cities and villages of Ukraine. The results of the research. It was investigated that the values of the hardiness indicators components are expressed at an average level and are within the normal range. The average level of hardiness (68.2%) prevails among the respondents. It has been found that the hardiness predictors are meaningfulness of life, autonomy, self-acceptance and self-confidence. We established the relationship between hardiness and personal resources, which include primary and secondary abilities, using the correlation analysis. All components of hardiness have been shown to correlate with primary capacities such as time, contact, trust, hope, sexuality, and love. Diligence, reliability and thrift are influential among the secondary abilities. Conclusions. The analysis of personal resources proves that meaningful life goals are the resource for the hardiness development. The components of hardiness are related to self-determination, self-organization, psychological wellbeing, and the reality and awareness of life goals. The leading role in the hardiness development belongs to personal resources. The resources that influence hardiness are determined using variance analysis: love, contacts, hope and trust.
