Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gary is actively seeking help and working to solve the problem of struggling with psychology and statistics, which is a problem-focused coping strategy. Emotion-focused coping would involve trying to manage the emotional distress caused by the struggle, such as by distracting oneself or seeking emotional support. Defensive-focused coping involves denying or avoiding the problem, which is not the case here. 'Internal' is not a type of coping strategy.
