Overview

Coping skills are the cognitive and behavioral strategies people use to manage stress, difficult emotions, and challenging situations. They are commonly grouped into problem-focused approaches, which act on the source of stress, and emotion-focused approaches, which regulate the distress it causes, and include techniques such as problem solving, cognitive reappraisal, relaxation, mindfulness, social support seeking, and structured routines. Effective coping skills can be taught and practiced, and they are central to mental health and to the day-to-day management of conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), where building resilience and self-regulation supports functioning across academic, interpersonal, and emotional domains. Research across the publisher's portfolio examines coping in varied populations, including a study of compassion fatigue and the coping strategies adopted by mental-health service providers, work on managing the stressful ramifications of osteoarthritis through enhanced coping and self-efficacy, and research on building resilience in children and youth with ADHD by identifying and developing protective factors. Such studies illustrate how coping resources are assessed and strengthened. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to coping skills and adaptive strategies for managing stress and supporting psychological well-being.
