“…However, as depression and anxiety correlate with social defeat their shared variance could have prevented these variable to reach significance in the regression. Indeed, recent evidence shows that avoidance and escape coping styles are associated with a higher level of negative symptoms, depression and anxiety both in UHR (Lee et al, 2011;Masillo et al, 2012) and in adolescent form the general population (Lin et al, 2011). …”

“…Research on coping with stress has indicated that individuals with schizophrenia are inflexible in their use of coping strategies [27] , tend to use maladaptive emotion-oriented coping styles [28][29][30] , and rely more on passive avoidant strategies and less on active problem solving [31,32] . Maladaptive coping patterns in people with schizophrenia have been associated with higher levels of negative symptoms, depression, and anxiety [33] . A previous study found a significant relationship between different coping strategies and both severity of symptoms and emotional distress [34] : particularly avoidance-oriented coping strategies (e.g., distraction) were negatively correlated with paranoid symptoms.…”

AIM:To explore (1) intergroup differences in comfortable interpersonal distances (CIDs) and the use of coping strategies; (2) the association of these parameters with individual symptomatology; and (3) the interplay between CIDs and coping styles in patients with depression and schizophrenia. METHODS:The parameters of interest were assessed by means of standardized questionnaires: CID and Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations. Psychopathology was evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory and Positive and Negative Syndromes Scale. ANOVA, Pearson's correlations and multiple regression analyses were used to examine relationships among the variables. RESULTS:Compared with controls, depressed patients were more distanced from family members, significant others and self-images, whereas patients with schizophrenia were less distanced from neutral and threatrelated stimuli. Distancing from self-images was mostly associated with depression severity in depressed patients, whereas distancing from hostile and threat-related stimuli with the severity of psychotic and affective symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Both patient groups used more emotion-oriented than task-oriented and avoidance-oriented coping strategies. Self-distancing among patients with schizophrenia was positively associated with the use of the social diversion coping, implying social support seeking. CONCLUSION:Patients with depression and schizophrenia use different maladaptive emotion -regulation strategies to cope with their symptoms and related distress. Training in stress management might provide these patients with skills for more effective emotion regulation.© 2013 Baishideng Publishing Group Co., Limited.

The findings generally supported the hypotheses that the patient groups would display greater interpersonal distances from both positively and negatively valenced stimuli, and greater use of emotion-focused coping than controls. The findings suggest that patients with depression and schizophrenia use different maladaptive emotion-regulation BRIEF ARTICLE

“…We did not aim at explaining mental health problems through insufficient coping behavior. In fact, empirical data suggest that some 15-25% of the vulnerability to psychiatric disorders may be linked to insufficient stress management (varies with diagnosis, unclear causality) [4,14,23,24,26,39] . In other words, it would be somewhat naïve to expect that coping behavior can explain a major proportion of physical and mental health problems.…”

The question of how to quantify insufficient coping behavior under chronic stress is of major clinical relevance. In fact, chronic stress increasingly dominates modern work conditions and can affect nearly every system of the human body, as suggested by physical, cognitive, affective and behavioral symptoms. Since freshmen students experience constantly high levels of stress due to tight schedules and frequent examinations, we carried out a 3-center study of 1,303 students from Italy, Spain and Argentina in order to develop socioculturally independent means for quantifying coping behavior. The data analysis relied on 2 self-report questionnaires: the Coping Strategies Inventory (COPE) for the assessment of coping behavior and the Zurich Health Questionnaire which assesses consumption behavior and general health dimensions. A neural network approach was used to determine the structural properties inherent in the COPE instrument. Our analyses revealed 2 highly stable, socioculturally independent scales that reflected basic coping behavior in terms of the personality traits activity-passivity and defeatism-resilience. This replicated previous results based on Swiss and US-American data. The percentage of students exhibiting insufficient coping behavior was very similar across the study sites (11.5-18.0%). Given their stability and validity, the newly developed scales enable the quantification of basic coping behavior in a cost-efficient and reliable way, thus clearing the way for the early detection of subjects with insufficient coping skills under chronic stress who may be at risk of physical or mental health problems.
