“…Other coping responses have been more maladaptive, such as heightened anxiety and fear about COVID-19 and/or one's post-pandemic future ( Rajkumar, 2020 ) and increased drug or alcohol use or breaking isolation rules ( Clay & Parker, 2020 ). In broad ways, COVID-19 coping strategies appear to be similar to general coping strategies involving problem-solving, emotional/social support seeking, positive appraisals, and avoidance ( Chew et al, 2020 ; Roesch & Weiner, 2001 ; Zeidner & Saklofske, 1996 ). However, given the unprecedented scope of COVID-19 stressors and challenges, examining the correlates of adaptive and maladaptive coping responses could inform public health initiatives and individuals' risk-management strategies should future conditions require continued or renewed government-mandated restrictions ( Sohrabi et al, 2020 ).…”

“…These risk factors include age, gender, race, socio-economic status (SES), and being a parent ( Atchison et al, 2020 ; Lund, 2020 ; Park et al, 2020 ). In addition to basic demographics, individual differences, like those captured by personality, also appear to influence the adoption of adaptive coping responses ( Bacon & Corr, 2020 ; Carvalho et al, 2020 ; Garbe et al, 2020 ; Saklofske et al, 2007 ; Zeidner & Saklofske, 1996 ). However, to date, researchers have not explored how personality traits and demographic factors could jointly influence COVID-19 coping responses ( Chew et al, 2020 ).…”

Personality and Individual Differences

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented effect on human behavior and well-being. Demographic factors and personality traits have been shown to independently influence whether individuals adopt adaptive or maladaptive coping responses. However, to date, researchers have not considered how demographics and personality could interact to influence COVID-19 coping responses. In a sample of 516 North American young adults, we found direct links from two demographic factors (i.e., income and having children) and from multiple personality traits (as captured by the HEXACO model) to adaptive and maladaptive COVID-19 coping responses. We also found that personality indirectly linked a broader range of demographic factors (income, age, gender, having children) with COVID-19 coping responses. We encourage future research on COVID-19 coping responses to consider not just the individual contributions of demographics and personality, but their interdependent influence on whether individuals adopt more or less adaptive COVID-19 pandemic coping responses.

“…These authors found that officers with less experience may not have developed the appropriate coping skills to deal with the hazards of policing. The style of coping may therefore depend strongly on the situation encountered (Zeidner and Saklofske 1996). Webster (2013) suggests that in policing, it is the interaction of an individual’s perception and the reality of the environment that shapes the experience of stress and the officer’s ability to make a coping decision.…”

The role of coping in the association between stress and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not clear. We investigated the effects of active and passive coping strategies on the associations between police stress (administrative and organization pressure, physical and psychological threats, and lack of support) and PTSD symptoms in 342 police officers. Linear regression model was used in the analyses. The association between physical and psychological stress and PTSD symptoms was stronger in officers who used lower active coping (B = 4.34, p <0.001) compared to those who utilized higher active coping (p-interaction = 0.027) (B =1.79, p ≤ 0.003). A similar result was found between lack of support and PTSD symptoms (p-interaction = 0.016) (lower active coping, B = 5.70, p < 0.001; higher active coping, B = 3.33, p <0.001), but was not significantly different comparing the two groups regarding the association between administrative and organizational pressure and PTSD symptoms (p-interaction = 0.376). Associations of total stress, administrative and organizational pressure, and physical and psychological stressors with PTSD symptoms were significantly stronger in officers who utilized higher passive coping (p-interaction = 0.011, 0.030, and 0.023, respectively). In conclusion, low active or high passive coping methods may exacerbate the effect of work stress on PTSD symptoms.

Self-Esteem and Problematic Drinking in China: A Mediated Model

et al. 2015

BackgroundAlthough self-esteem is related to problematic drinking, the mechanisms by which it affects drinking remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether coping mechanisms mediate the relationship between self-esteem and problematic drinking among Chinese men and women with alcohol use disorders and to recommend appropriate interventions for drinking problems.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China. A sample of 5,689 community residents was screened, and 517 male and 172 female problematic drinkers were chosen to participate in this study. A self-esteem scale, a coping questionnaire and an alcohol use disorder identification test were completed in order to assess participants’ self-esteem, coping mechanisms and alcohol use disorders, respectively. Participants’ socio-demographic data were also gathered at this stage. The resulting data were examined via descriptive statistics, correlations and bootstrap analyses.ResultsLower self-esteem levels were related to problematic drinking, and there were no gender differences in the relationship between self-esteem and problematic drinking. A relationship between low self-esteem and negative coping was observed only in men. Negative coping thus mediated the relationship between self-esteem and problematic drinking among men, but this was not the case for women. Positive coping did not mediate the relationship between self-esteem and problematic drinking among the participants, regardless of gender.ConclusionsSelf-esteem and coping strategies are correlated among problematic drinkers. In addition, there are gender differences in the manners in which negative coping mediates the relationship between self-esteem and problematic drinking. Problematic drinking interventions directed at males should simultaneously address low self-esteem and negative coping.
