“…Consisting of 32 items rated using a 6-point Likert format (see the manual by Heppner 25 for the psychometric properties), the Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI) is a self-appraisal measurement of how well people believe they can handle problems. The PSI probes individuals' global beliefs about everyday problems and their perception of their problem-solving ability.…”

“…But despite empirical investigations demonstrating support for an association between social problem solving and health behaviors, these are to our knowledge the first data from persons with vision loss, concerning relations between problem solving abilities and QoL measured not only as health related behaviors but, instead, as satisfaction with QoL experienced in several different domains of everyday life. The finding obtained using the PSI [42,43], one of the most widely used self-report inventories in the analysis of problem solving perception, underlines the role of individual's awareness and evaluation of his or her problem-solving abilities or style, the role of a global appraisal of the person with vision loss as a problem solver. This finding has several important implications.…”

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of several dimensions of functioning on satisfaction for quality of life (QoL) experienced by visually impaired older adults. Participants: A sample of 58 older adults (37 women and 21 men) was involved in the study. Their age ranged from 50 to 88 years (M = 68.95, SD = 1.51). They were characterized by visual impairment of different origin and visual acuity (VA) ranging from 4/10 to total blindness. The QoL questionnaire was used along with short form-12 health Survey, the National Eye Institute visual function questionnaire-25 and problem solving inventory (PSI) which analyzes problem solving appraisal. Results: A stepwise regression analysis was conducted in order to find predictors of satisfaction for QoL. A contribution of mental and physical health, more specifically, of problem solving appraisal was found. Conclusion: Results support the notion that the functional relationship between visual impairment and satisfaction for QoL must be understood in terms of approaches that incorporate psychological and socio-cognitive elements. Problem solving appraisal, in fact, makes a substantial contribution to the prediction of variance in life satisfaction and it may play an important role for intervention strategies.Keywords: daily functioning; mental and physical health; older adults; problem solving appraisal and satisfaction for quality of life; visually impaired.

“…The first was to use the Suppressive Style and Reactive Style subscales of the Problem-Focused Style of Coping (PF-SOC; Heppner, Cook, Wright, & Johnson, 1995), which were used in Lopez and his colleagues ' (2001, 2002) studies. We also added an additional dimension of perceived problemsolving effectiveness from the Problem-Solving Inventory-Form B (PSI; Heppner, 1988), which has been found to consistently predict psychological distress in numerous studies (Heppner & Lee, 2002). Together the PSI and PF-SOC may provide a more complete assessment of perceived problem-solving/coping effectiveness than either measure alone.…”

This study examined perceived coping (perceived problem-solving ability and progress in coping with problems) as a mediator between adult attachment (anxiety and avoidance) and psychological distress (depression, hopelessness, anxiety, anger, and interpersonal problems). Survey data from 515 undergraduate students were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that perceived coping fully mediated the relationship between attachment anxiety and psychological distress and partially mediated the relationship between attachment avoidance and psychological distress. These findings suggest not only that it is important to consider attachment anxiety or avoidance in understanding distress but also that perceived coping plays an important role in these relationships. Implications for these more complex relations are discussed for both counseling interventions and further research.In the past decade, researchers have found that Bowlby's attachment theory (1973, 1988) has important implications for coun-
