Studied the predictive validity of a trait inventory assessing habitual coping strategies. Human subjects: 128 normal West German adults (aged 20–56 yrs) (university students and staff). One week after completing the trait inventory, Ss were presented with 2 stories of stressful situations and asked to describe how they would cope with these situations. Correlations between results on the trait inventory and responses to the stressful situations were analyzed. Tests used: The 'Stressverarbeitungsfragebogen' (Coping with Stress Inventory) by W.
