Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.), Xavier University, Psychology.
Undergraduates are at risk for experiencing losses during college, and it is important that they cope adaptively. This study examined predictors of engagement coping strategies among undergraduates in loss-related situations. Seventy-nine undergraduates who reported a recent loss completed the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, the Daily Stress Inventory, the Coping Strategies Inventory, and a demographic questionnaire. Standard multiple regression analysis indicated that the combination of positive affect, negative affect, and the impact of daily stress (log transformed) accounted for 10% of the variance in the use of engagement coping strategies. Positive affect and negative affect did not independently predict the use of engagement coping strategies. The impact of daily stress (log transformed) made the strongest unique and significant contribution. Results indicated that high levels of impact of daily stress (log transformed) predicted greater use of engagement coping strategies. This information can be used to inform university-based wellness and prevention strategies for students at risk of experiencing loss.
