Personality, Affectivity, and Coping
View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses personality, affectivity, and coping, and argues that commonly studied coping strategies reflect broader and more basic dispositional tendencies within the individual, that two general dimensions of temperament-Neuroticism (or Negative Emotionality) and Extraversion (or Positive Emotionality)-are crucially important in influencing both the coping strategy that an individual chooses and the level of distress that he or she experiences.
