Description:
A 45-item test assessing coping skills. Low scores indicate poor coping skills; high scores indicate good coping skills. The test yields seven sub-scores:
1. Ability to assess situation: measures the ability to evaluate situations, and the ability to trust one’s own judgment to find the best possible solution. Low scores indicate a poor ability to assess situations; high scores indicate a good ability.
2. Adaptability and fl exibility: measures whether individuals are flexible and have the ability to adapt to change. Low scores indicate low adaptability and flexibility, while high score indicate high adaptability and flexibility.
3. Adaptive reaction to stress: measures whether individuals react to stress in a way that is positive or negative for their well-being. Low scores indicate poor reaction to stress, while high scores indicate adaptive reactions to stress.
4. Resourcefulness: measures the ability to come up with inventive ways to solve problems, and the ability to use the resources at hand to solve uncommon or unforeseen problems. Low scores indicate low resourcefulness, while high scores indicate high resourcefulness.
5. Self-reliance: measures the ability to rely upon oneself to deal with problems. Low scores indicate low self-reliance, while high scores indicate high self-reliance.
6. Proactive attitude: measures the ability to take charge, make decisions and assert oneself. Low scores indicate a passive attitude, while high scores indicate a proactive attitude.
7. Ability to relax: measures the ability to relax, a skill that is useful in reducing overall stress level. Low scores indicate a low ability to relax, while high scores indicate a high ability to relax.

Those who had been told regularly to reduce stress levels had less proactive attitudes. The effects are robust. See Annex 4 for a table showing homogeneous subsets. F (9,35274) = 676.831 p < 0.0001

4. Relationship between how long it has been since last vacation and coping-skills.
Question #4: How long ago did you take your last vacation? Less than 6 months ago 6-12 months ago 1-1.5 years ago 1.6-2 years ago 2-3 years ago More than 3 years ago
General Note: For this question, the negative relationship between time since last vacation and coping score could be attributable to two factors. First, perhaps people who had taken a recent vacation scored higher because the vacation improved their ability to deal with stress. Another possibility is that people with better coping skills realize the necessity to take time off and relax on a regular basis. a) General Score: Significant differences were found among groups of subjects depending on when they took their last vacation. Those who had taken recent vacations had better overall coping skills. The effects are robust. See Annex 5 for a table showing homogeneous subsets. F (5,35778) = 312.606 p < 0.0001
