Predictors of coping behavior after a layoff
对下岗工业工人的纵向研究，考察个体差异和情境特征如何影响六种失业应对策略的使用，发现不同策略的预测因素不同，且问题导向和症状导向策略互补。
In a longitudinal study of laid-off industrial workers, we examined the effects of individual differences and situational characteristics on individuals' use of six job loss coping strategies. In each case the predictors explained a significant portion of the variance (30–47 percent) although different predictors were significantly associated with each of the six coping strategies. The results also suggest that the use of problem-focused and symptom-focused coping strategies are complementary rather than mutually exclusive. The study's implications and directions for future research are discussed as well. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
