Document Summary

Textbook: psychology tenth edition in modules authored by david g. myers. We address some stressors directly, with problem-focused coping. For example, if our impatience leads to a family fight, we may go directly to that family member to work things out. We turn to emotion-focused coping when we cannot or believe we cannot change a situation. We may search for relief from stress by confiding in friends and reaching out for support and comfort. Emotion-focused strategies can move us toward better long-term health, as when we see emotional distance from a damaging relationship or keep busy with hobbies to avoid thinking about an old addiction. Sometimes a problem-focused strategy more effectively reduces stress and promotes long-term health and satisfaction.
