COPING STRATEGIES

STRESS
In psychology, stress is a feeling of pressure. Stress is a
type of psychological pain. ... Humans experience stress, or
perceive things as threatening, when they do not believe
that their resources for coping with obstacles (stimuli,
people, situations, etc.) are enough for what the
circumstances demand.

Coping means to invest one's own conscious effort, to


solve personal and interpersonal problems, in order to try
to master, minimize or tolerate stress and conflict.
COPING STRATEGY
Coping strategies refer to the specific
efforts, both behavioral and psychological,
that people employ to master, tolerate,
reduce, or minimize stressful events.
Lazarus & Folkman (1984) has defined
coping mechanism as the process of
managing external or internal demands that
are appraised as exceeding the resources of
the person.
COPING STRATEGIES
In coping with stress, people tend to use one of
the three main coping strategies:
Appraisal-focused strategies are directed
towards challenging your own assumptions and
modifying the way you think. This may include
distancing yourself from the problem or
challenge, altering goals and values, or
identifying the humor in the situation to bring a
positive spin.
 Problem-focused coping is that kind of coping
aimed at resolving the stressful situation or event or
altering the source of the stress
 Emotion-focused coping is a type of stress
management that attempts to reduce negative
emotional responses that occur due to exposure to
stressors. Negative emotions such as fear, anxiety,
aggression, depression, humiliation are reduced or
removed by the individual by various methods of
coping.
NEUROTIC
Neuroticism personality trait dimension
representing the degree to which a
person experiences the world as
distressing, threatening, and unsafe. ...
Highly neurotic individuals tend to be
labile (that is, subject to frequently
changing emotions), anxious, tense, and
withdrawn.
