Discussion
In which of the following coping strategies does the individual facing stress, vent out anger and frustration, and decides that nothing can be done to change things?
1. Task-oriented strategy
2. Avoidance-oriented strategy
3. Emotion-oriented strategy
4. Biofeedback
Answer: B
This describes the emotion-oriented strategy, so the answer is Only 3. A person using it reacts with feelings, venting anger and frustration, and concludes that nothing can be done. The task-oriented strategy deals with the problem directly by planning and acting, and the avoidance-oriented strategy tries to stay away from the stressor. Biofeedback is a technique for managing stress, not a coping strategy of this type.
Task-oriented coping solves the problem, avoidance-oriented coping withdraws from it, and emotion-oriented coping reacts with feelings, as in the stem.
