| Abstract: | This study examined some possible factors that were expected to influence choices of coping strategies. They were demographic variables (age, sex, marital status, education, and family income), personality traits (extraversion, neuroticism and locus of control), perceived life stress, and received social support. Five hundred and eighty-one randomly selected community adults living in Kaohsiung city were interviewed and completed questionnaires measuring the above variables. Multivariate analyses had shown that: (a) higher income and education were related to more use of 'Seeking social resources' and 'Planning & hoping' coping; (b) higher extraversion was related to more use of 'Seeking social resources', 'Planning & hoping' and 'Emotional suppression' coping, whereas the last was also related to higher neuroticism; (c) people with higher internal locus of control favoured 'Planning & hoping', but not 'Emotional suppression' coping; (d) perceived life stress was not related to any use of coping behaviours; however, (e) more social support was related to more use of all kinds of coping behaviours. Implications of results were discussed in the context of stress and adaptation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
