Describe the differences between problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping
Problem-focused coping addresses the problem causing the stress directly, such as seeking solutions or making changes to reduce the stressor. Emotion-focused coping manages the emotional response to the stressor, such as through relaxation techniques or seeking social support.
Problem-focused coping may be more effective when the stressor is controllable, while emotion-focused coping may be more appropriate when the stressor is beyond one’s control.
