Bewertung der Effizienz von Bewältigungsverhalten am Beispiel der Stressverarbeitungsmaßnahmen aus dem SVF. Evaluation of the effectiveness of coping behavior: Exemplified with stress-coping strategies from the SVF.

Studied the effectiveness of coping strategies in the Stre–Sverarbeitungsfragebogen (SVF) ('Stress-Coping Questionnaire') of W. Janke et al (1985), and the importance of situational variables in evaluating the effectiveness of coping behavior. Human Ss: 37 male and female West German adults (psychologists) (Study I); 32 male and female West German adults (nonpsychologist academics) (Study I); 79 male and female West German adults (nonacademic university employees) (Study I); 24 male and female West German adults (22–36 yrs) (university students) (Study II); 24 male and female West German adults (28–57 yrs) (university employees) (Study II). In Study I, Ss rated the effectiveness of 19 coping strategies assessed by the SVF. In Study II, Ss rated stories in which a stressful situation varied with regard to 4 dimensions (content, proximity, predictability, and controllability) in order to suggest an effective coping strategy.
