Closes 31 December 2025
We are inviting individuals working in high-pressure, high-performance, or high-stress environments to participate in a national PhD research study exploring how people perform, adapt, and thrive under pressure.
This study examines the psychological resources that support performance and wellbeing, particularly Mental Toughness (MT), Psychological Capital (PsyCap), and personality characteristics – aiming to develop a unified psychological model relevant to demanding occupational settings.
If you work in sectors such as aviation, elite sport, defence, high-level corporate or leadership roles, emergency services (e.g. paramedics, fire and rescue, police), healthcare (e.g. emergency, ICU, surgery), or other high-performance roles – your insights are highly valuable.
The study is approved by the Bond University Human Research Ethics Committee (BUHREC) and participation is voluntary and anonymous.
The online survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete and includes a brief explanation and informed consent at the beginning.
Your contribution will support psychological science and the development of practical tools to improve resilience, performance, and mental wellbeing in high-pressure settings.
