Abstract:
This article described a study in which the responses of 199 respondents to measures of coping with stress were submitted to multidimensional scaling. The three-dimensional solution suggests that respondents' perceptions of coping with stress are best explained along the following dimensions: (a) active coping versus denial/escape, (b) turning to interpersonal support versus seeking religious comfort, and (c) instrumental/cognitive disengagement versus affective/spiritual engagement.
