Tameeka recently lost a job she really enjoyed. At first, Tameeka felt emotionally stressed by the loss
However, when she was informed by her sister that her 3-yr-old niece was battling cancer, Tameeka felt that her own loss was small by comparison. Tameeka decided to make the best of her own situation of job searching, while being a strong source of support for her sister and niece. Tameeka is demonstrating:
a) emotion-focused coping.
b) proactive coping.
c) problem-focused coping.
d) cognitive-focused problem solving.
ANS: A, Tameeka is not addressing the source of her stress (her niece's illness) but rather is taking steps to reduce her own unpleasant emotional response. In this case this is a very healthy response, because there is probably little she can do to address the source of her stress.
