We examined the impacts of emotional intelligence and self-leadership on coping with stress, and assessing the mediating roles that positive affect and self-efficacy play in this process. Participants were 575 students at 2 Chinese universities, who completed measures of coping with stress, self-leadership, emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and positive affect. The structural equation model analysis results indicated that self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between emotional intelligence and active coping, as we had predicted. Further, self-leadership had a direct effect on active coping. However, positive affect and self-efficacy did not mediate the relationship between self-leadership and coping with stress. Implications are discussed in terms of theoretical contributions and interventions for coping with stress.

The issue of self-assessment is primarily discussed in the context of human behaviour, learning, and self-esteem. It seems important to include self-assessment in building individual competences and coping with stress. Nowadays we have more and more resources, but we also experience a greater number of stressful stimuli, which is a consequence of, among others occupational burnout. Is the self-assessment associated with the perceived stress? Is the self-assessment related to the style of coping with stress? The purpose of this article is to determine the intensity of the relationship between self-assessment and stress, and styles of coping with stress. The study was conducted in a group of 210 students specialising in social work, employed in social assistance institutions or intending to take up a job as a social worker.

Based on the idea of computers constituting social agents and referring to core characteristics of human–human relationships, this study introduces the concept of a digital companionship between smartphone users and their devices. Constituting characteristics (closeness, trust, preoccupation) and outcomes (stress, coping with stress) of social relationships were adapted to yield a model of human–smartphone relationships for empirical testing. A cross-national sample of participants ( n = 1156) completed an online study, which included self-report measures as well as a newly developed instrument (Positioning Others and Devices [POD]) assessing the closeness to technical devices and social actors. Results showed the smartphone to be the closest device. Furthermore, structural equation modeling lent support for the theoretical model indicating that trust and preoccupation mediate the relationship between closeness to the smartphone and stress and coping. Findings support the concept of companionship as a fruitful approach to explain smartphone-related behaviors.

Un afrontamiento inadecuado puede producir serias repercusiones negativas tanto sobre aspectos emocionales como en la capacidad para ejecutar cualquier tipo de tarea, es por ello que el objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar los estilos de afrontamiento de los entrenadores deportivos del estado de Yucatán, México; así como determinar las diferencias en el estilo de afrontamiento según el sexo y la relación entre las subescalas, sexo y tipo de deporte. Participaron 81 entrenadores de los cuales el 67.9% (55) son hombres y el 32.1% (26) mujeres, con una edad promedio de 35.42 años de edad y 11.32 años ejerciendo como entrenadores. A todos los participantes se les administró el Inventario COPE (Escala Multidimensional de Evaluación de los Estilos de Afrontamiento) que evalúa 15 dimensiones de afrontamiento al estrés que siguiendo el modelo de teórico de Folkman y Lazarus y el modelo de Anshell, se agruparon en una combinación factorial de segundo orden en: afrontamiento centrado en el problema, de evitación y afrontamiento centrado en la emoción. Respecto al estilo de afrontamiento mayormente utilizado es el centrado en el problema (M=3.01; DT=.37), no encontrando diferencias significativas respecto al sexo. Sin embargo, se encontraron correlaciones significativas entre las subescalas de afrontamiento y el tipo de deporte mayores a .05. Se puede observar que los análisis más detallados muestran algunas relaciones entre subescalas dependiendo del sexo y tipo de deporte. Abstract. Inadequate coping can lead to serious negative repercussions on both emotional aspects and the ability to perform any task. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify coping styles of sports coaches from the state of Yucatan, Mexico; in addition, to determine differences in coping style by gender, and to assess the relationship between subscales, gender, and type of sport. 81 professionals (67.9% [n = 55] men; and 32.1% [n = 26] women) with an average age of 35.42 years old and 11.32 average years working as coaches were selected. All participants were given the Multidimensional Scale in Coping Style (COPE) Inventory, which assesses 15 dimensions of coping with stress. Based on the theoretical models proposed by Folkman and Lazarus, and Anshell, these dimensions can be grouped in a second order factorial combination as follows: coping focused on the problem, avoidance, and coping centered on emotion. Regarding the coping style used, it is mostly centered on the problem (M = 3.01, SD = .37). Likewise, significant correlations between the subscales of coping and the type of sport (p < .05) were found. More detailed analyses show relationships between subscales depending on gender and type of sport.

The article is devoted to the problem of the relationship of personality self-effi cacy and coping behaviour among university students. The authors demonstrate topicality of considering the aspect of coping with life diffi culties among students in connection with the high requirements of society for future professionals, on the one hand, and the high psychological load in the learning process, which leads to stress, on the other hand. Researchers consider self-effi cacy as a resource for coping with stress, and as a personality characteristic that depends on the success of solving diffi cult problems. The study was aimed at solving several problems: comparing the level of general self-effi cacy, self-effi cacy in activities and in the fi eld of communication among students of different courses; identifi cation of the relationship between the level of self-effi cacy and coping strategies in stressful situations for students of different courses (this is the main hypothesis of the study). As a result, the relationship between self-effi cacy and such coping strategies as self-monitoring and activity planning, as well as a strategy for avoiding diffi culties, is shown. However, the assumption that the level of self-effi cacy increases and the choice of coping strategies varies signifi cantly from course to course has not been confi rmed. There is also no connection with sociopsychological adaptation.
