Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Problem-focused coping is about taking action to address the stressor itself. In this case, Sally's stressor is not having enough completed projects. Therefore, the best choice would be for Sally to work to complete more projects in order to increase her chances of getting a promotion in the future. Talking to a friend or drinking alcohol are examples of emotion-focused coping, which may not directly address the stressor. Quitting her job would be a drastic and potentially unnecessary solution.
