Individual personality differences significantly impact coping processes. Further research is needed on measuring coping effectiveness and considering situational factors in natural settings.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Third-generation research highlights the role of individual personality differences in coping.
  • Existing research acknowledges personality's influence but faces unresolved issues in measurement and context.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of personality's role in coping.
  • To identify key unresolved issues in coping research, including measurement and situational context.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and theoretical discussion of coping processes.
  • Introduction of three parameters of coping: range, patterning, and competence.
  • Discussion of situational strength theory ('weak' vs. 'strong' situations).

Main Results:

  • Personality traits are recognized as crucial in the coping process.
  • Systematic empirical attention has primarily focused on the 'range' parameter of coping.
  • The influence of coping 'type' in naturalistic settings remains an open question.

    • Conclusions:

    • Advancing coping research requires addressing measurement challenges and the impact of situational context.
    • Future studies should explore all coping parameters (range, patterning, competence) and situational differences.
