Coping has been well researched due to its influential role in psychological adjustment. Previous findings have shown that problem-focused coping is generally adaptive. Yet, other studies revealed that problem-focused coping can also elicit more distress, and certain “passive” emotion-focused strategies can also relieve stress. The construct of coping flexibility is proposed as an endeavor to resolve these mixed findings. I will review various conceptualizations of this construct and methods for assessing it. A microanalysis of coping processes in which individuals flexibly deploy different coping strategies in distinct stressful contexts will be described and discussed.
