Coping and the Simulation of Events
Abstract
In this article we propose a cognitive theory of coping that centers on the mental simulation of past, future, and hypothetical events. We suggest that event simulation serves both problem-solving and emotional regulation functions for ongoing and past stressors through three main attributes: (1) simulation increases the perceived validity or truth of the imagined experience, (2) it provides a framework for organizing experience, and (3) it provides a mechanism for mustering particular emotions and arousal. These qualities, in turn, help translate thought into action by increasing the expectancy that the imagined event will occur, by providing plans and by increasing motivation. The article also attempts to integrate mundane planning, fantasy experience, goal seeking, and ruminative thought over past stressors into a single perspective on coping.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
