Coping with stress is part of ordinary life, and learning beneficial coping strategies can enhance relationships, work performance, and overall health.
Lazarus and Folkman identified two primary coping styles: problem-focused coping, where one actively addresses a distressing problem, and emotion-focused coping, which involves regulating emotional responses to challenges.
Research by Pearlin and Schooler revealed that personality characteristics assist in situations beyond one's control, while effective coping responses play a significant role in managing situations with more control.
In problem-focused coping, individuals utilize cognitive and behavioral methods to solve problems while maintaining emotional stability, focusing on harm assessment and actionable improvements.
