Answer:
Stress can be described as the pattern of responses an organism makes to stimulus event that disturbs the equilibrium and exceeds a person?s ability to cope. Recent studies by Kobasa have shown that people with high levels of stress but low levels of illness share three characteristics, which are refered to as the personality traits of Hardiness. 
Hardiness is a set of beliefs about oneself, the world, and how they interact. It takes shape as a sense of personal commitment to what you are doing, a sense of control over your life, and a feeling of challenge. Stress resistant personalities have control which is a sense of purpose and direction in life; commitment 10 work, family, hobbies and social life; and challenge, that is, they see changes in life as normal and positive rather than as threat. Everyone does not have these characteristics, many learn specific life skills such as rational thinking, and assertiveness to equip ourselves better to cope with the demands of everyday life.
