Dr. Seuss, the Coping Machine, and “Oh, the Places You’ll Go”
View through CrossRef
Chapter 1 presents a model of coping that has broad applications. It describes previous definitions of coping, and proposes a new definition, before presenting a schematic for understanding our model of coping and describing the nature of appraisal-like processes involved in stressors that impact subsequent coping. It explores individual differences in people (the “coping machines”) that can moderate coping responses to a stressor. Lastly, it explicates the responses that are, in varying degrees, effective according to our model.
