Test Your Problem and Emotion-Focused Coping Strategies

Test Your Problem and Emotion-Focused Coping StrategiesPsychological coping mechanisms may be conscious or subconscious. Subconscious (or unconscious) coping strategies are called defense mechanisms, and you can test that here. Taking that test can be quite revealing, and to this date, it is one of the most popular tests on this site. Conscious coping strategies, however, are slightly different. By definition, they involve conscious effort to minimize stress and overcome the problem.

There are hundreds of coping strategies but in this simple test we will look at three common strategies:

  • problem solving (problem-focused),
  • seeking social support (emotion-focused),
  • escape / avoidance (emotion-focused).

To take the test, you have to answer the question:

WHAT BEHAVIORS DESCRIBE YOU WHEN FACED WITH A SERIOUS PROBLEM?
