          Abstract

          Resumo Este estudo investigou as possíveis relações entre estratégias de coping e a adaptação acadêmica em estudantes universitários. Além disso, procurou-se verificar se o gênero ou a etapa do curso (primeiro ou último ano) influenciariam na escolha de determinadas estratégias e nos níveis de adaptação ao ensino superior. Participaram desse estudo 412 acadêmicos. Para a coleta dos dados utilizou-se o Questionário de Vivências Acadêmicas - Versão Reduzida (QVA-r), a Escala Modos de Enfrentamento de Problemas (EMEP) e um questionário de dados sociodemográficos. Pode-se perceber que as estratégias focadas no problema e no suporte social correlacionaram-se positivamente com o processo de adaptação acadêmica e, na emoção e nas práticas religiosas/pensamento fantasioso, por sua vez, estiveram relacionadas negativamente com o processo de ajustamento ao ensino superior.

          Abstract This study investigated possible correlations between coping strategies and academic adaptation among undergraduate students. Furthermore, we sought to verify whether students' gender and college year (first or last year) would influence their choice of specific strategies as well as their levels of adaptation to higher education. The sample consisted of 412 undergraduate students. The instruments used were the Academic Experiences Questionnaire - Reduced Version (AEQ-r), Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WAYS) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results revealed that strategies focused both on the problem and social support had a positive correlation with academic adaptation. On the other hand, strategies focused on emotion and religious practices/fanciful thinking were negatively related to the process of adaptation to higher education.

          Stress, Appraisal, and Coping

          <p><b>The reissue of a classic work, now with a foreword by Daniel Goleman!</b><p>Here is a monumental work that continues in the tradition pioneered by co-author Richard Lazarus in his classic book <i>Psychological Stress and the Coping Process</i>. Dr. Lazarus and his collaborator, Dr. Susan Folkman, present here a detailed theory of psychological stress, building on the concepts of cognitive appraisal and coping which have become major themes of theory and investigation.</p> <p>As an integrative theoretical analysis, this volume pulls together two decades of research and thought on issues in behavioral medicine, emotion, stress management, treatment, and life span development. A selective review of the most pertinent literature is included in each chapter. The total reference listing for the book extends to 60 pages.</p> <p>This work is necessarily multidisciplinary, reflecting the many dimensions of stress-related problems and their situation within a complex social context. While the emphasis is on psychological aspects of stress, the book is oriented towards professionals in various disciplines, as well as advanced students and educated laypersons. The intended audience ranges from psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, nurses, and social workers to sociologists, anthropologists, medical researchers, and physiologists.</p>

              Modeling cognitive adaptation: a longitudinal investigation of the impact of individual differences and coping on college adjustment and performance.

              Drawing on cognitive adaptation theory, optimism, psychological control, and self-esteem were explored as longitudinal predictors of adjustment to college in a sample of 672 freshmen. Although a direct effect of optimism on adjustment was found, most of the predicted effects were mediated by coping methods. Controlling for initial positive and negative mood, the beneficial effects of optimism, control, and self-esteem on adjustment were mediated by the nonuse of avoidance coping, greater use of active coping, and greater seeking of social support. Alternative models of the causal relations among these variables did not fit the data as well as the a priori mediational model. The results of a 2-year follow-up indicated that self-esteem and control predicted greater motivation and higher grades, controlling for college entrance exam scores. Implications for cognitive adaptation theory and for interventions with populations under stress are discussed.
