Limitations of the research to consider: tory_mccracken https://padlet.com/tory_mccracken/coping/wish/165567240 (Mantzipoulos, 1997)
    • Test-retest correlations on the Academic Coping Inventory (used to classify students into 4 coping groups) was VERY low. It was considered acceptable due to "the time between assessments, the domain specificity of the measure, and the fact that children changed teachers over this period," (p. 231)
    • Students were asked to think about an academic situation in which it was important for him/her to perform well but did not ... they were not actually experiencing this situation at the time and therefore accuracy of recall may be a limiting factor to consider
    • 11 students were excluded from the results because they could not be classified into one of the 4 coping groups

    2. Emotion-Focused Coping
      • Adaptive when the appraisal concludes that nothing can be done to modify the situation
