Active Coping Strategies

The Latina/o students’ Coping with Racial Microaggressions theory is a theory grounded on participants’ experiences of racial microaggressions at a Hispanic Serving Institution. The theory is congruent with Lazarus and Folkman’s (1984) Transactional Model of Stress and Coping, due to the importance of appraisal in the context of coping with discrimination. Lazarus and Folkman noted that when encountered with a stressful event, individuals engage in primary and secondary appraisals of the event, and eventually engage in problem focused and emotion focused coping strategies. However, discrepant from Lazarus and Folkman’s model, the key component of the current theory is the extreme importance of context in the experience of discrimination and

Through the psychology courses at Hunter, I became interested in how humans could develop psychological capacities to endure with stressors through their lifetime. One of those classes, abnormal psychology, inspired me to test a hypothesis about coping skills as human instinct capacity under stressful events; thus, I brought the idea to experimental psychology class, and conducted an independent study to see the relationship between religiosity and coping skills.

Effective coping is a key element that determines an individual’s ability to achieve resilience. Coping mechanisms are utilised by individuals to cope by improving the development and quality of resilience. Resilience is the ability to grow from experiencing hardship by embracing it and reframing it as a learning experience - to which the development of effective coping skills is imperative.

(Finnegan et al., 1996) the 'specific linkage theory recommends that there are subjectively formative pathways from avoidant and conflicted connections which relate to unpredictable consequences in adolescents behaviour as a result. This supports the critical and unremitting sense for a need to associate with their care giving figure that allows a young person to distance themselves in order to keep these coping styles in place, as young people start to realise that inner-emotional state do not coincide with the outer expression they chose to give.

Coping is facing something; people cope in various ways. In the coping questionnaire we did, there were fifteen different types of coping strategies. Per that coping scale, the coping strategy I use the most is positive reinterpretation and growth, and also religious coping. I do not like any negative vibes around me, or anything/ anyone that produces negative vibes. I believe I am a positive person and use positivity to resist with negative stress. One thing that gives me positive vibe is my religion. I use prayers and believe in blessings from god to deal with everyday life.

The concept from module three that I found most important is the coping behavior. I think it is important to have coping behavior in the work center to bridge between the different levels of cognitive gaps when around me are adaptors and innovators. I know within my work center that I have subordinates and supervisor who operate with different preferred cognitive thinking style and I need to understand how my preferred style will affect my relationships, managements, and feedbacks with them. Coping behavior is the mechanism that will reduce or eliminate conflicts that can potentially arise with those who work within my surrounding. For an example, my supervisor is an innovator so I recognize that I need to use coping behavior when we interact

The Coping Strategies Questionnaire–Revised (CSQ-R) (Riley & Robinson, 1997) is one such measure in need of validation in Veteran populations. The CSQ-R assesses an individual’s use of cognitive and behavioral pain coping strategies. This measure, and its original version (CSQ) (Rosenstiel & Keefe, 1983) are the most widely used measures of coping in the chronic pain literature (Piotrowski, 2007) and have been used to assess coping with a wide range of pain-related conditions including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, cancer pain, whiplash, phantom limb pain, sickle cell disease, and headache pain (Beckham, Keefe, Caldwell, & Roodman, 1991; Buenaver, Edwards, Smith, Gramling, & Haythornthwaite, 2008; Gil, Abrams, Phillips,

They are support seeking and tense reduction strategies. These results seem to imply that there are no significant differences between the two sexes when coping strategies are concerned (Berlin et al. 1990)

Coping strategies refer to the specific efforts, both behavioral and psychological, that people employ to master, tolerate, reduce or minimize stressful events. There are two general coping strategies which have been distinguished. Problem-focused strategies are efforts to do something active to alleviate stressful circumstances, where as emotion-focused coping strategies involve efforts to regulate the emotional consequences of stressful or potentially stressful events. Typically, people use both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping in their stressful episodes, which suggests that both types of coping are useful for most stressful events (Folkman & Lazarus, 1980).
