The elastic energy of an object does not depend on how difficult it is to stretch or compress the object (AAAS Project 2061, n.d.).

Items that test for misconception EGM037 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
EG086002	The elastic energy of an object that is being compressed depends on how much the object is compressed and how difficult it is to compress it.	36%
EG036005	The elastic energy of an object that is being stretched depends on how much the object is stretched and how difficult it is to stretch it.	34%
EG040004	For two rubber bands stretched the same amount, the rubber band that was harder to stretch has more elastic energy.	18%
