Emotion-Focused Coping
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Emotion-focused coping manages the emotional response to a stressor rather than the stressor itself.
Show
A person facing an unchangeable diagnosis works on acceptance and on reducing physiological arousal.
Watch for
Emotion-focused coping is not avoidance and not second-best. For uncontrollable stressors it is the better match.
