Determinants of effective coping: The role of individual differences
Summary
People differ in their level of emotional understanding and management, the way they interpret or appraise stressful situations, and in their personality traits and cognitive abilities. These differences between people can result in differences with how they cope in stressful situations, and ultimately in their well-being, achievement, and resilience. The current project will focus on how differences in internal psychological resources relate to peoples’ systematic appraisals of stressful events, the coping strategies that they employ, and finally to emotional outcomes indicative of positive emotions and well-being.
