INSTRUCTIONS: These items deal with ways you've been coping with the stress in your
life since you’ve been in college. These items ask what you've been doing to cope with them.
Obviously‚ different people deal with things in different ways‚ but I'm interested in how you've tried to deal with them. Each item says something about a particular way of coping. I want to know to what extent you've been doing what the item says. Don't answer on the basis of whether it seems to be working or not—just whether or not you're doing it. Use these response choices. Try to rate each item separately in your mind from the others. If an item below refers to “it”‚ please think of “it” as the problem or problems in your life that come to mind. Make your answers as true FOR YOU as you can (please place the appropriate number in the blank beside each item).
