Abstract:
In this study, the responses of 61 people with amputations to a measure of coping strategies were submitted to multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. Interpretations of the three-dimensional solution, aided by the emergence of five coping clusters, suggested that respondents' perceptions of their coping with amputation-related stress were best explained by the following three dimensions: 1) active/confrontive versus passive/avoidance coping; 2) pessimistic/fatalistic versus optimistic/positivistic coping: and 3) social/emotional versus cognitive coping.
