“…CFA revealed five distinct coping strategies (accommodation, avoidance, revaluation, symptom reduction, and changing situation), as was hypothesized on the basis of initial scale structure suggested by Edwards and Baglioni [20]. The final factor model, after freeing some of the covariances between residuals, fitted the data sufficiently ( 2 (42) = 577.93, p < .001, CFI = .95, TLI = .97, RMSEA = .07, WRMR = 1.82).…”

“…Thus, we ended up with a five-factor model, which was identical to the initial model tested by Edwards and Baglioni [20,25,26], with the factors accommodation, devaluation, symptom reduction, situation changing, and avoidance. The factor scores were saved and subsequent LPA was based on these factor scores.…”

“…Avoidance can be seen as directing one's attention away from the stressful situation or discrepancies and in this way reducing the impact of the stressors on one's wellbeing. These five coping strategies, which, in fact, can also be found in other coping models and inventories, e.g., the COPE-scale, [6] can be assessed by the Cybernetic Coping Scale [20], which we used in the present study.…”

Abstract:Coping strategies are not necessarily mutually exclusive and can be used simultaneously, a fact which has rarely been examined in coping research. We examined what kinds of coping profiles could be found in data concerning Finnish health care and service employees (n = 2756). We also studied whether role engagement (family-to-workenrichment, work-to-family-enrichment, emotional energy at work, and work engagement) and subjective well-being (life, parental, and marital satisfaction, and psychological distress) differ between coping profiles. The data were analyzed through latent profile (LPA) and covariance analyses (Ancovas). LPA revealed seven distinct coping profiles: two active groups, one passive group, one low and two high copers' groups and one moderate group. These results indicate that coping strategies are not mutually exclusive and that people might use different strategies simultaneously. The covariance analyses revealed that the most significant differences concerned role engagement: active copers showed higher role engagement (e.g. enrichment, work engagement) than moderate or low copers. The findings imply that the indicators of role engagement deserve more attention in coping research in healthy working adults.

“…Following coping behaviours (five forms) were assessed by the Cybernetic coping scale [13]: (a) attempts to reduce symptoms, and to directly improve the psychological well-being (b) change in the situation -an active troubleshooting by trying to bring the situation in conjunction with personal preferences, (c) customization -customize personal preferences to fit the situation (d) overcome by devaluing the importance for the individual -importance that is generated from a disagreement between his desires and perceptions, and (e) avoiding -divert attention from the situation. According to Edwards [12], of these five coping strategies, the only active strategy is Change in the situation.…”

In addition to cope with usual stressful circumstances at work, nowadays, it is important to examine what kind of mental capacities of medical staff are adaptive in respect of a new type of stress -job insecurity.Special focus is put upon self structures as personality determinants and the role they have in coping.. The aim of the study was to determine the role of the self structures in active coping with job insecurity. It was supposed that the increasing integration of self structures leads to increasing use of active coping strategies. Perceived job insecurity was measured by The job insecurity perception scale (Knežević and Majstorović, 2013). The Ego Functioning Questionnaire (Majstorović, Legault and Green-Demers, 2008) was used to evaluate types of ego-functioning; coping were assessed by the Cybernetic coping scale (Edwards and Baglioni, 1993).In order to test the hypothesis the multivariate regression analysis was developed with self-regulation as predictor and active coping strategy as a criterion. A significant model F(3, 306) = 26,73, p < 0,001, was obtained with all the predictors selected as significant. The prediction directions were as expected -Integrated and Ego-investing self were positive predictors (β = 0,35, p < 0,001, and β = 0,16, p < 0,01, respectively), while the impersonal self singled out as a negative predictor (β = -0,13, p < 0,05). The results have shown that the development of self structures is valid predictor for the active coping of medical staff when facing with job insecurity.

The primary aim of this study was to develop a Croatian inventory for assessing coping strategies that people use when under stress. As a basis for this inventory, a translation of the multidimensional coping inventory (COPE) by Carver, Scheier and Weintraub (1989) was used. The second purpose was to compare the results of the original version of the COPE with the translated Croatian version. Three additional scales (Humour, Turning to Religion, and Drug and Alcohol Use) were also analysed. The results were obtained using a sample consisting of undergraduate students (N 403) from the University of Rijeka, Croatia. When comparing the original version of the COPE inventory with the Croatian version, a similar factor structure emerged. The dierences obtained are interpreted by taking into account dierent sociocultural and economic conditions in Croatia and the USA.
