“…Openness was found to be positively related to problem-focused coping and negatively related to emotion-focused coping, which is consistent with prior findings that demonstrate the importance of openness for adaptive coping (Chai and Low 2015;Penley and Tomaka 2002), which may be explained by Openness including curiosity about both inner and outer worlds, and thus individuals who score high in the Openness measure are more flexible and creative than others. Additionally, individuals who score high in the Openness measure experience their emotions in a comfortable manner, as they are able to accept their emotions as well as others' emotions better.…”

“…Given that individuals react to stress in various ways, understanding the likelihood of coping with stressors adaptively or maladaptively requires an examination of the moderating factors-e.g., individual differences, personality traits and/or social relations-that link individuals to different types of stressors (Chai and Low 2015).…”

“…In terms of coping strategies, Openness has been positively related to active problemfocused (e.g., planning) and adaptive emotion-focused coping (e.g., positive reframing, humor, and acceptance) (Chai and Low 2015;McCrae and Costa Jr 1986;Roesch et al 2006;Watson and Hubbard 1996). This is because individuals high in Openness are curious about both inner and outer worlds, and they are perceived to be more flexible and creative than others.…”

This study investigated the relationships between active, problem-focused, and maladaptive coping with stress during the Coronavirus outbreak, the Big Five personality traits, and social support among Israeli-Palestinian college students (n = 625). Emotion-focused coping negatively correlated with social support, openness, extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness, while it positively correlated with neuroticism. On the other hand, problem-focused coping was found to positively correlate with social support, openness, extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness, but negatively correlate with neuroticism. Thus, positive social support may increase one's ability to cope actively, adaptively, and efficiently. In addition, Israeli-Palestinian college students high in openness, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness tend to use active problem-focused coping while those high in neuroticism tend to use maladaptive emotion-focused coping.

“…Feelings such as guilt, frustration and deprivation caused by the child's abnormality can cause the mother to be isolated and disinterested in communicating with the environment, as well as to increase stress and feelings of worthlessness and unhappiness in the mother. Stress is a serious threat that can lead to mental or physical illnesses or may have significant negative effects on a person's performance [5]. The perceived stress construct is derived from the concept of Lazarus and Folkman stress as a person's cognitive assessment of negative life events.…”

Methods: The method of this study was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population of the study was all mothers with children with specific learning disabilities in Tehran. Using convenience sampling method, 40 mothers (20 for each group) were selected from mothers of children with special learning disabilities in Tehran and were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 7 60-minute sessions of problem-solving training and the control group remained on the waiting list. Data were collected using Cohen's Perceived Stress Questionnaire (1983). Results: Data analysis was done by SPSS 20 software in two parts: descriptive and inferential (covariance analysis). The results showed that the mean of experimental group decreased in perceived stress of mothers with children with specific learning disabilities compared to control group. Conclusions: It can be said that problem solving training has been effective on the perceived stress of mothers of children with specific learning disabilities, so the results represent new horizons in clinical interventions and can be used as an effective intervention method.

The current study aimed to examine the cognitive-minded group therapy on perceived stress, emotional, cognitive regulation, and self-care behaviors in patients with hypertension. Methods & Materials: The study has a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, follow-up, and a control group. The study population was all people with hypertension referred to medical centers in Kish Island, Iran, in 2010 (March to June). The research sample consisted of 32 qualified candidates who were selected using the purposive sampling method. Then they were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Perceived stress, emotional and cognitive regulation, and self-care questionnaires of patients with hypertension were used to collect information in the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up stages. The experimental group underwent mindfulness-based group therapy, but the control group did not receive any intervention. The obtained data were analyzed with repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS v. 22. The significance level of the tests was considered 0.05. Findings: The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the mean scores of positive stress (P=0.001), negative stress (P=0.001), positive emotion (P=0.001), negative emotion (P=0.001), medication regimen (P=0.003), diet (P=0.011), and disease management (P=0.026) in the post-test and follow-up. But there was no significant difference between the mean scores of food labels (P=0.195). Conclusion: The effectiveness of mindfulness-based group therapy on reducing stress and negative emotion and improving self-care of patients with hypertension suggests that in addition to the physical components of chronic diseases, the psychological components of patients be considered to prevent recurrence diseases and increase adherence to treatment in them.
