Information-seeking and problem-directed coping behaviors following a stressful event were observed as a function of cognitive appraisals of coping resources. Subjectively defined failure on a college exam served as an example of a mild stressor. Prior to the first midterm exam, students generated alternative strategies that could be used in the event of dissatisfaction with performance and rated the feasibility of using these strategies. Academic coping behaviors were measured by self-report and direct observation during the 3 weeks prior to the next exam. Coping cognitions were found to predict academic behaviors but not exam scores.
在应激事件之后,信息寻求和问题导向应对行为被视为对应对资源的认知评估的函数。大学考试中主观定义的失败被用作轻度应激源的一个例子。在第一次期中考试之前,学生们制定了在对成绩不满意时可以使用的替代策略,并对使用这些策略的可行性进行了评分。在下一次考试前的3周内,通过自我报告和直接观察来测量学业应对行为。研究发现,应对认知能够预测学业行为,但不能预测考试成绩。
