Problem-Focused Coping
Captions available
The idea
Problem-focused coping addresses the stressor itself by acting to change or remove it.
In practice
A student facing an unmanageable load drops one course and reschedules another.
Where people slip
Problem-focused coping helps most when the stressor is controllable and can worsen matters when it is not.
