This study tested whether cognitive hardiness moderates the adverse effects of deployment-related stressors on health and well-being of soldiers on short-tour (4-7 months), peacekeeping operations. Australian Army reservists (N = 448) were surveyed at the start, end, and up to 24 months after serving as peacekeepers in Timor-Leste or the Solomon Islands. They retained sound mental health throughout (Kessler 10, Post-Traumatic Checklist-Civilian, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 42). Ratings of either traumatic or nontraumatic stress were low. Despite range restrictions, scores on the Cognitive Hardiness Scale moderated the relationship between deployment stressors and a composite measure of psychological distress. Scatterplots revealed an asymmetric pattern for hardiness scores and measures of psychological distress. When hardiness scores were low, psychological distress scores were widely dispersed. However, when hardiness scores were higher, psychological distress scores became concentrated at a uniformly low level.
本研究检验了认知坚韧性是否能缓和与部署相关的应激源对短期（4 - 7个月）维和行动士兵健康和幸福感的不利影响。对澳大利亚陆军预备役军人（N = 448）在担任东帝汶或所罗门群岛维和人员之前、结束时以及服役后长达24个月进行了调查。他们在整个过程中保持了良好的心理健康（采用凯斯勒10项量表、平民创伤后应激检查表、抑郁焦虑压力量表42）。创伤性或非创伤性应激评分都很低。尽管存在范围限制，但认知坚韧性量表得分缓和了部署应激源与心理困扰综合测量之间的关系。散点图显示了坚韧性得分与心理困扰测量之间的不对称模式。当坚韧性得分较低时，心理困扰得分分布广泛。然而，当坚韧性得分较高时，心理困扰得分集中在统一的低水平。
