Provide an example of problem-focused coping and the idea that the person will confront the stressor and attempt to deal with it directly (e.g., calling your insurance company immediately after an accident to begin the process of getting your car fixed).

Provide an example of emotion-focused coping and the idea that the person will attempt to avert the main stressor by putting a positive spin on it (e.g., talking about the money you saved when the store didn’t have the dress you wanted).
