Cognitive Coping and Psychological Adjustment in Different Types of Stressful Life Events
Abstract
General population adults (N = 139) completed measures of cognitive coping strategies, depression, and indicated their most stressful life event. Three types of negative life events were distinguished: somatic events, bereavements, and divorces. Results showed significant differences across events in the use of coping strategies. Regression analyses indicated relatively consistent significant relationships of the cognitive coping strategies and depressive symptoms. General maladaptive effects were found for Self-blame, Rumination, and Catastrophizing. Adaptive effects were found for Positive Reappraisal. An adaptive effect for Putting into Perspective was found only for somatic events.

“On the contrary, individuals, who depend on the maladaptive strategies, e.g., emotional suppression or rumination tend to have increased stress levels, emotional exhaustion, and worsened mental health outcomes (Garnefski and Kraaij, 2009).”

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.
