Ideal coping strategies enhance positive aspects of well-being as well as reduce distress. Although researchers have identified several "positive coping" strategies, it is unclear which are most strongly associated with well-being or whether all strategies are equally appropriate for all kinds of stressors. Participants completed well-being measures, and described the most negative event of the day and their emotion regulation strategies for the next 7 days. Dispositional use of positive emotion-inducing coping strategies was most strongly associated with positive aspects of well-being. Use of positive coping did not decrease with increased objective stress during the week, and use of particular strategies was partly predicted by the types of stressors that were reported. Implications for theories of positive coping are discussed.
理想的应对策略既能增强幸福感的积极方面，又能减轻痛苦。尽管研究人员已经确定了几种“积极应对”策略，但尚不清楚哪些策略与幸福感的关联最为紧密，也不清楚所有策略是否同样适用于各种压力源。参与者完成了幸福感测量，并描述了当天最负面的事件以及他们在接下来7天的情绪调节策略。积极情绪诱导应对策略的倾向性使用与幸福感的积极方面关联最为紧密。在一周内，积极应对策略的使用并未随着客观压力的增加而减少，特定策略的使用部分由所报告的压力源类型预测。本文讨论了对积极应对理论的启示。
