And Coping

The article presents the correlation between marital communication and the coping styles of parents of a child with ASD during the SARS CoV-2 pandemic. The study involved 46 married mothers and 34 married fathers raising children with autism spectrum disorders. The following tools were used: The Marital Communication Questionnaire (KKM) by M. Plopa and M. Kazmierczak and the Polish version of the CISS Coping Questionnaire by Endler and Park.                The results of the research showed that respondents more often prefer constructive coping with stress using the task focused style (SSZ) if a spouse assesses both themselves and their spouse as more supportive and engaged in communication and less depreciation. The respondents more often prefer non-constructive coping with stress using and the emotion-focused style (SSE) or the avoidance-focused style (SSU), if the spouse assesses both themselves and their spouse as depressed. The greater the difference between their own assessment and the assessment of their spouse in supportive communication, the more often the respondents prefer the style focused on emotions (SSE) and the style focused on avoidance (SSU). Moreover, the greater the difference between self-assessment and that of the spouse in depreciation communication, the less often the task-focused style (SSZ) was preferred. The results are statistically significant.

The aim of this paper is to present an understanding of the coping mechanisms and coping styles adopted by individuals on the Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) by looking to draw parallels with sports performance psychology and how different sources of stress and anxiety can lead to the adoption of different coping styles. Firstly, an overview of current understanding of what constitute a stressor and how this can affect an individual is presented from sport and exercise psychology literature. Secondly, a model of coping styles is illustrated with the aim to shed light at how different perceptions of levels of stress and anxiety are managed both on an individual and group level. Thirdly, within the context of this understanding, some examples about how to support individuals on the ASC will be illustrated. Finally, implications for future research and reflection will be presented by highlighting the importance of teaching and learning coping and tolerance skills as part of a comprehensive and holistic psycho-educational program.

And Coping

Workers of the helping professions are particularly susceptible to the occupational burnout syndrome. This stems from the very nature of helping other people who experience several social problems in their everyday life. Working in the helping and caregiving professions relies on direct contact with another human being and involves intensive stress. The burnout syndrome is a consequence of functioning under long-term stress resulting, for example, from overwork. The study objective was to diagnose the occupational burnout among workers in the helping professions and to determine the correlation between burnout and stress-coping styles. In the study, we used Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) by C. Maslach (to assess an individual’s experience of burnout) and Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) by S. Norman, S. Endler, J.D.A. Parker (adapted by P. Szczepaniak, J. Strelau, K. Wrześniewski) (to assess styles of coping with stress). The empirical analyses indicated the existence of a correlation between the sense of occupational burnout among the workers studied and their styles of coping with stress.

Aim: With this study, it is aimed to examine the nomophobia, coping with stress and anger expression styles of university students. Methods: A total of 532 university students (n=201 female; n=331 male) participated in the study. While the personal information form created by the researcher was used for socio-demographic data, the nomophobia scale developed by Yıldırım and Correia (2015) and adapted into Turkish by Yıldırım et al. (2016) for smartphone addiction, Anger Expression Style Scale, developed by Spielberger et al. (1983) and adapted to Turkish by Özer (1994), was used to determine anger expression styles, and the "Stress Coping Style Scale", which was developed by Folkman and Lazarus (1980) and adapted into Turkish by Şahin and Durak (1995), was used to determine stress coping styles. The homogeneity and variances of the data were tested, Independent Samples t Test was used for pairwise comparisons, One Way Anova was used for multiple comparisons, and Tukey HSD test was used to determine the source of difference. Results: While no statistical change was observed in the dimensions of coping with anger and stress depending on the gender factor, it was determined that the mean value of males was statistically higher than that of females in all nomophobia dimensions (p<0.05). There was no statistical change in the values of anger, nomophobia and coping with stress depending on the age and accommodation factors of the students. Conclusion: Today, the fact that female and male are closer to each other in respect of social status and social roles can be seen as the reason for the similarity in the values of anger expression and coping with stress. Results related to high nomophobia of males values can be evaluated as they are more addicted to smartphones than females. Keywords: Nomophobia, University Student, Stress, Anger

The aim of the study was to compare children with ASD from families with low and medium financial status in terms of quality of life and coping with stress during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and the material status of the family related to their financial situation during the pandemic. The diagnostic survey method was used in the research study. A total of 120 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 11–14 years participated in the study. The following tools were used to achieve the goal: Quality of Life of Students by S. Kowalik, “Jak Sobie Radzisz” by Z. Juczyński and N. Ogińska-Bulik and a proprietary questionnaire by the author. The research results indicate that during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, children with ASD from families with an average financial status are more satisfied with functioning in the family and more satisfied with themselves than children from families with a low financial status. Moreover, children with ASD from low-status families prefer strategies of focusing on emotions, which are not constructive and make functioning difficult, more often than their peers from families with average financial status. The results of the research show a positive correlation between the quality of life in the dimensions of satisfaction with the family, one’s local environment and oneself and active coping (disposition) and seeking social support; and a negative correlation with the strategy of focusing on emotions (disposition). It is advised that families with children with ASD be supported during the pandemic.

Primary caregivers experience intense confusion before and after they receive an official diagnosis of their child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Although the quest to help their child may alleviate some negative feelings, the stress increases when they realize that there is no cure for ASD. This study employed a descriptive comparative design which aimed to compare and contrast the struggles of 93 primary caregivers and their coping strategies in terms of gender and their relation to the child with ASD in Baguio City, Benguet and Dagupan City, Pangasinan. Inventory questionnaires were utilized to gather data. Using Mean Analysis and ANOVA, the more prevalent struggles experienced by the primary caregivers are Financial and Emotional. Males experienced Financial struggle the more while females experienced Emotional. Blood-related primary caregivers struggle more with Financial and Emotional while non-blood related primary caregivers struggle with Health. With the struggles they encounter, the more prevalent coping strategies utilized by primary caregivers are Problem Solving and Social Support. Males utilized Problem Solving the more while females utilized Social Support and Emotional Expression. Blood-related primary caregivers utilized Problem Solving more while nonblood-related primary caregivers utilized Social Support. Despite the various struggles primary caregivers encounter, they find ways to cope with them.

The Relationship

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.

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.
