Psychology

Effort to manage stressful demands

In psychology, coping is the changing cognitive and behavioral effort a person uses to manage demands that are appraised as taxing or exceeding their resources, commonly split into problem-focused coping (acting on the stressor) and emotion-focused coping (regulating the distress). Folkman and Lazarus's 1985 If it changes it must be a process: Study of emotion and coping during three stages of a college examination established coping as a dynamic process that shifts across an encounter rather than a fixed trait. The referent is a measurable regulatory process, assessed with coping inventories across a stressful episode, and it has nothing to do with the cap on a wall or a woodworking cut.[1]
