John Henryism and health

As defined by James, Hartnett, and Kalsbeek (1983), John Henryism (JH) is a “strong behavioral predisposition to cope actively with psychosocial environmental stressors.” The construct is characterized by three major themes: (1) efficacious mental and physical vigor, (2) a strong commitment to hard work, and (3) a single-minded determination to succeed. The JH model takes its name and is inspired in part by the story of John Henry, the “steel-driving man.” According to the legend, John Henry was a widely admired African American railroad worker in the late 19th century who, in an epic steel-driving competition, defeated a steam-powered drill.
