“…Those adopting positive coping strategies will tend to deal with the problem at hand rather than try to escape it or fall into emotional distress. If undergraduates learn to adopt task-oriented coping methods, they will likely suffer less frustration in their studies, and therefore achieve better academic performance ( Khorasani and Ghanizadeh, 2017 ).…”

BackgroundWith the ongoing push to improve the quality of talent in all professions, academic pressure on undergraduates is gradually increasing, leading to students feeling increasingly frustrated by academic stressors. As it becomes more widespread, the resulting issue of academic frustration is attracting public attention.AimThe current study explored the relationship between undergraduate anti-frustration ability (AFA) on their academic frustration (AF), focusing specifically on the roles played by core competence (CC) and coping style (CS) in this relationship.MethodsOur sample comprised 1,500 undergraduate students from universities in China. Data collection made use of the Ability to Anti-Frustration Ability Questionnaire, the Academic Frustration Questionnaire, the Core Competence Questionnaire, and the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire.ResultsThe results showed that: (1) AFA negatively predicted the AF of undergraduates, with CC mediating this relationship and (2) CS had a moderating effect on the relationship between CC and AF. We concluded that students who employ positive CS may be more successful in alleviating their AF to a larger extent, with the mediation of CC.InterpretationThe results revealed the mechanism of AFA on AF, which will help schools consider and guide students’ skills and abilities, both academically and personally.

“…This finding is in accordance with the conceptualization of work engagement, being in contrast with burnout (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004 ). There is a plethora of studies substantiating the close link between anxiety and burnout (e.g., Ferdowsi & Ghanizadeh, 2017 ; Khorasani & Ghanizadeh, 2017 ; Talbot & Mercer, 2018 ).…”

Additionally coping strategy as a response to a stressor, in its cognitive and behavioral mechanisms can reduce, minimize, control or tolerate the particular stressor (Gustems-Carnicer & Calderón, 2013 ; Khorasani & Ghanizadeh, 2017 ).…”

Teaching can be considered as an extremely demanding and stressful occupation and being a language educator brings about its own distinctive challenges. In the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, teachers worldwide experienced fundamental changes in their profession and their lives as a whole. Coping with such an unprecedented situation and responses to it have created new and extra stressful factors for teachers to cope with, including the difficulties created by quick transition from direct teaching to virtual and remote teaching. This study examined EFL teachers' coping strategies during the Covid-19 virtual education and their association with work engagement and teacher apprehension. A total of 296 language instructors contributed to this study by participating in a survey in January 2021. To determine what coping strategies teachers use in virtual teaching during Covid-19, the researchers adapted the Brief-COPE scale designed and validated by Carver (Int J Behav Med 4:92–100, 1997) to make it appropriate for virtual education. The survey measured 11 coping strategies divided into two broad types, approach and avoidant. For measuring work engagement, the Work and Well-being Survey (UWES) scale designed and validated by Schaufeli and Bakker (Test manual for the Utrecht work engagement scale, vol 3. Utrecht University, The Netherlands, pp. 44–52, 2003. http://www.schaufeli.com ) was utilized. To assess teachers' apprehension, the research employed the Sources of Teachers' Apprehension Scale (STAS) developed by Ghanizadeh et al. (Asia-Pac Educ Res 1–14, 2020). The result demonstrated that the adapted coping strategies scale enjoys acceptable reliability and validity indices. The results estimated via structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that EFL teachers' approach coping strategies positively and significantly predicted work engagement ( β = 0.72, t = 10.56). Work engagement was negatively predicted by avoidant coping strategies ( β = − 0.29, t = − 3.36). Teacher apprehension was negatively influenced by approach coping strategies ( β = − 0.44, t = − 5.57) and positively by avoidant coping strategies ( β = 0.43, t = 5.29). The study proposes some practical recommendations for overcoming the Covid-19 related challenges which could further deliver valuable guidance for supporting future training of teachers.

“…A opção pela redução de itens do Inventário COPE completo ao invés da adoção do Brief COPE deve ser considerada. Enquanto o Brief COPE, com 28 itens, abarca 14 estratégias de enfrentamento do estresse (Carver, 1997), a versão obtida, com 18 itens, contempla as três dimensões gerais do modelo de coping (Endler & Parker, 1990), avaliadas até mesmo em estudos com outros instrumentos (Khorasani & Ghanizadeh, 2017). A Brief COPE permite uma análise mais pormenorizada das estratégias, ainda que cada estratégia seja avaliada com apenas dois itens.…”

Objetivo: Coping é definido como os esforços cognitivos e comportamentais para controlar, vencer, tolerar ou reduzir demandas internas e externas que excedem as capacidades da pessoa em termos de estresse. Este artigo propõe uma versão reduzida do Inventário COPE.Método: Participaram deste estudo transversal 524 trabalhadores de instituições localizadas em Porto Alegre e Região Metropolitana (RS), Brasil, selecionados por acessibilidade. Destes, 57,6% eram mulherescom idades entre 16 e 67 anos (M=30,7; DP=10). Como instrumentos foram utilizados o Inventario COPE e um questionário de dados sociodemográficos e laborais. A validade de conteúdo foi analisada atravésdo método de juízes. A validade de construto foi analisada mediante análise fatorial confirmatória e confiabilidade.Resultados: Em termos da validade de conteúdo, os juízes confirmaram a abrangência teórica e conceitual da escala, considerando os elementos apropriados para avaliar coping. A análise fatorial confirmatória demonstrou índices de ajustes adequados para o modelo de três dimensões: RMSEA = 0,05 (I.C =0,04-0,06); CFI = 0,94 e alfas satisfatórios para o modelo composto por 18 itens, seis que avaliam estratégias de coping evitativo (? = 0,71), seis que avaliam as estratégias com foco na emoção (? = 0,78) e seis, estratégias com foco no problema (? = 0,81). Tais resultados indicam que a COPE possui propriedades psicométricas adequadas para o estudo do coping no Brasil. Conclusões: O uso da versão reduzida do COPE pode contribuir para uma avaliação mais ágil e efetiva no que tange às estratégias de coping na realidade brasileira.
