    Se presenta una revisión de la formulación teórica de un constructo de personalidad, la personalidad resistente o dureza (Kobasa, 1979a, 1979b), propuesto como un recurso de resistencia y protección de la salud física y mental en virtud de su efecto amortiguador, mitigador o anulador de las consecuencias nocivas del estrés sobre el individuo. Asimismo, se presenta gran parte de los resultados de la investigación sobre la relación entre este constructo y la salud/enfermedad. El trabajo concluye con dos sugerencias fundamentales a tomar en cuenta en la investigación en torno a la dureza: la utilización de la estrategia estadística de la Obtención de Modelos mediante Ecuaciones Estructurales (Structural Equation Modeling) y la determinación del papel de la dimensión de desafío respecto a la estructura de la personalidad resistente y a sus efectos sobre la asociación estrés-salud/enfermedad.

    This paper reviews the conceptualization of a personality construct, the hardy personality or hardiness (Kobasa, 1979a, 1979b}, suggested as a protection resource, both for physical and the mental health thanks to its buffering effect against stress. Also, evidence about relationship between this construct and the health/illness is presented. Finally, a couple of recommendations are given concerning research on hardiness, the use of structural equation models and the need of determining the role of the challenge dimension in the hardy personality and its effects on the stress-health/illness relationship.
