Abstract
This study hypothesized a moderate positive relationship between the general outlook factor, personality hardiness, and basketball performance. Hardiness is a composite of intercorrelated views about self and world characterized by a sense of commitment, control, and challenge. Eight quantitative indices of basketball performance showed sufficient intercorrelation to form a composite score. Hardiness scores obtained on high-school male, varsity players before the season began were correlated to a composite measure of basketball performance throughout the season, with results that support the hypothesis.
