Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Traits, Mood, and Subjective Wellbeing01:22

Traits, Mood, and Subjective Wellbeing

42
Subjective well-being (SWB) refers to an individual's self-evaluation of their overall life satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment. This multifaceted construct is typically assessed by analyzing the balance of positive and negative emotions alongside perceptions of life satisfaction. Personality traits such as neuroticism and extraversion are strongly associated with variations in SWB, offering critical insights into the underlying mechanisms of emotional well-being.
Neuroticism and...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Health Psychology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Unemployment is a significant stressor with negative health consequences, particularly under financial strain.
  • Emotion regulation, a facet of emotional intelligence, is explored as a protective factor for well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the mediating and moderating roles of emotion regulation (ROE) in the relationship between financial strain and flourishing among the unemployed.
  • To understand how financial strain impacts psychological well-being through emotion regulation.

Main Methods:

  • A multisample study involving 657 unemployed individuals (Sample 1: N=256; Sample 2: N=401).
  • Utilized validated questionnaires to assess emotion regulation (ROE), financial strain, and flourishing.
  • Employed statistical analyses to examine mediating and moderating effects.

Main Results:

  • Financial strain was negatively correlated with flourishing.
  • Emotion regulation (ROE) was positively associated with flourishing.
  • ROE partially mediated the negative impact of financial strain on flourishing, indicating both direct and indirect effects.
  • ROE acted as a buffer, mitigating the adverse effects of financial strain on well-being.

Conclusions:

  • Emotion regulation is a crucial personal resource for unemployed individuals experiencing financial strain.
  • Interventions aimed at enhancing emotion regulation skills can help alleviate the negative psychological consequences of unemployment and financial hardship.
  • Findings emphasize the importance of ROE in maintaining well-being during periods of economic instability.
