The nature of individual coping responses to stressful life events was explored in a representative adult community sample. Two approaches to the classification of coping strategies were operationalized. Using these measures, small but significant gender and contextual differences in coping were identified. Mood and symptom levels were related to coping responses and to quantitative and qualitative measures of social resources. Measures of coping and social resources attenuated the relationship between undesirable life events and personal functioning.
在一个具有代表性的成年社区样本中，对个体应对压力性生活事件的方式的本质进行了探究。对应对策略的分类采用了两种方法。运用这些测量方法，发现了应对方式上虽小但显著的性别差异和情境差异。情绪和症状水平与应对反应以及社会资源的定量和定性测量相关。应对和社会资源的测量减弱了不良生活事件与个人机能之间的关系。
