About this stress coping quiz
Source basis
This quiz is informed by coping research that groups responses into problem-focused, emotion-focused, social support, and avoidant strategies.
Limits
No coping style is always good or bad, and a short quiz cannot account for trauma, resources, culture, health, workload, or whether a situation is controllable.
Next step
Use the result to add one flexible coping option, such as problem-solving when you have control or support-seeking when you do not.
