Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Problem-focused coping is the type of coping strategy that involves taking action to directly address the problem causing stress. It is most likely to be used when a person feels that they can do something about the situation. Options A and B (defense mechanisms and emotion-focused coping) are types of coping strategies that are used when a person feels helpless or overwhelmed by a situation. Option C (primary appraisal) is the process of evaluating the significance of a situation for our well-being, but it doesn't relate to coping strategies.
