Steven is not trying to directly address the source of his stress (problem-focused) or make a decision about how to change his situation (decision-focused). Instead, he is using an emotion-focused coping style by trying to improve his mood through smiling. He is also not avoiding the stressor altogether (avoidance-focused).
