Stress Coping Strategies

This study examined whether there were statistically significant differences in the level of expression of certain stress coping strategies during exam-taking among students. What was also tested was the correlation of coping strategies with the satisfaction with one’s performance on the written exam, and also whether certain exam coping strategies and satisfaction with one’s performance could be statistically significant predictors of the grade students obtained on the exam. The sample included 111 students (28 male and 83 female) attending the second year of the Pedagogical Faculty in Vranje. Before the written exam, the students completed the α scale from the KON6 test battery, which served as a measure of anxiety. The main idea in applying this scale was to assess whether students appraised the upcoming exam as a source of stress. Immediately after they finished the exam, they were given the Coping with test situation scale. In the end, the students were asked to rate how satisfied they were with their performance on the previously completed written exam. The results of ANOVA with repeated measures have shown that there was a statistically significant difference regarding the level of expression of certain stress coping strategies during the exam, where the most prominent was the problem-focused one. Satisfaction with one’s performance on exam was in the statistically significant negative correlation with emotion-focused and imagination/distraction coping strategies. Statistically significant predictors of students’ grades proved to be the satisfaction with their own test performance and imagination/distraction coping strategy. Although the results indicated that the problem-focused coping strategy is the most prominent one, the imagination/distraction coping strategy is the one that had the most influential negative impact on the exam performance.

Stress Coping Strategies

Introduction. The use of adequate stress-coping strategies by the headmasters of general secondary education institutions involves the study of these institutions' organizational and psychological characteristics that affect headmasters' choice of stress-coping strategies. Methods. The following instruments were used to collect and analyze data «How is your organization developing?» (V. Siegert, L. Lang, modification by L. Karamushka), «A Method of research into coping behavior in stressful situations» (S. Norman, D. Endler, D. James, M. Parker; adaptation by T. Krukova), and a passport-questionnaire. Aim: to analyze the relationship between organizational and psychological characteristics of general secondary education institutions and headmasters' stress-coping strategies. Results. Statistically significant relationships, both positive and negative, have been found between the organizational and psychological characteristics of general secondary education institutions and their headmasters' stress-coping strategies. It was shown that the higher the level of organizational development of general secondary education institutions, the more frequently their headmasters used such a coping strategy as social support seeking, but as the number of headmasters in one institution increased, the frequency of use of this coping strategy decreased. It was also shown that as the administrative status of the town/city where the general secondary education institution was located increased, the frequency of headmasters' use of such coping strategies as avoidance and distraction increased, too. Conclusions. The findings can be helpful in managing general secondary education institutions, in particular, in headmasters' choosing adequate stress-coping strategies.

This study finds that the work stress levels that are faced by ICT personnel range from mild to moderate. The estimated probit model finds that there is personality differentiation in the effectiveness of stress coping strategies. The significant and effective coping strategy is “seeking treatment”. The “escape from situation” coping strategy is found to be significant but ineffective. Thus, it is recommended that in alleviating work stress, “seeking treatment” is the best strategy. It is found that the high risk group that have higher work stress are non-Malays, married, field of specialization of accounting/business/ economics, job status of junior management, and less than 2 years of services.

Introduction. The stress coping strategies people rely on impact their psychological well-being and may be related to the risk of developing psychopathology in the short- and long-term after an unfortunate event. Objective. To define the main stress coping strategies in our region as a first step in assessing the risk of developing psychopathology derived from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Method. This is an observational, cross-sectional, analytical study that includes 396 participants over 18 years of age residents of the state of Nuevo Leon. Using an online form, the participants were asked to complete the Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CAE). Results. In general, after two months of mitigation measures in Mexico, positive reappraisal was the stress coping strategy with the highest score in the population studied. We found higher scores on negative auto-focused and overt emotional expression on the comparation between sociodemographic subgroups. Discussion and conclusion. The present study shows that, in our community, positive reappraisal was the stress coping strategy with the highest score. Positive reappraisal is an active form of coping associated with greater psychological well-being and fewer risk of developing psychopathology in the short and long term. Based on this, our hypothesis is that the predominant use of this strategy could translate into a higher psychological well-being during and after the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the studied sample.

In a demanding situation, a normal healthy adult makes decision based on experience, expertise or seeking knowledge from others or rely on own intuition. But a person under the influence of alcohol tends to be impulsive which hinders his effective decision making process. Situations demanding deeper levels of thought can cause stress. A person under the influence of drug may not be able to assess the problem clearly and therefore may not use an appropriate strategy. With this hypothetical belief, the present study was done to know if styles of making decision have a significant influence on stress coping strategies of alcohol addicts. Further the researcher also want to know if there was significant difference in stress coping strategies used among addicts based on their age and place of residence. The sample for the study was the alcohol addicts seeking treatment in de-addiction centers in Salem and Erode (Tamil Nadu). 150 alcohol addicts were randomly chosen form 8 centers. Regression and t-test were used to analyse the collected data. The results revealed that vigilance style of making decision has a significant influence on acceptance, refocus on planning and catastrophizing strategies of coping with stress. There was a significant difference in self-blame, other blame and positive refocusing based on the age of the addicts. Further there was a significant difference in rumination and refocus on planning among alcohol addicts based on their place of residence.
