Mrs. Leyland always gets extremely nervous every time her 11-year-old son, Trent, is up to bat. As soon as he steps into the batter's box, she gets up and walks to a place behind the stands where she cannot see her son at bat. This relaxes her a bit; she returns to the stands when she thinks that her son has finished batting. The coping style used by Mrs. Leyland is called __________-focused coping.

Question
