Abstract

Coping flexibility is the ability to abandon an ineffective coping strategy and to implement one more appropriate, known as the processes of abandonment and re-coping, respectively (Caldwell et al., 2013; Kato, 2015a, Kato, 2020). The two lower-order processes are monitored by one higher-order process named meta-coping which evaluates whether further adjustment is required (Kato, 2020). Coping flexibility maintains a key role in mitigating psychopathology, with studies showing that an inverse relationship with PTSD symptoms (Robinson et al., 2022). Depressed individuals, for instance, show less flexibility combines with traits like high neuroticism may increase the risk of depression (Kato, 2016). Given the global prevalence of psychopathology, investigating factors like coping flexibility and personality is essential.

应对灵活性是放弃无效应对策略和实施更合适应对策略的能力，分别称为放弃和重新应对过程（Caldwell 等人，2013 年；Kato，2015a；Kato，2020 年）。这两个低阶过程由一个名为 "元应对"（meta-coping）的高阶过程监控，该过程评估是否需要进一步调整（Kato，2020）。应对灵活性在减轻精神病理学方面发挥着关键作用，研究表明，它与创伤后应激障碍症状呈反比关系（Robinson 等人，2022 年）。例如，抑郁症患者的灵活性较低，而高神经质等特质可能会增加抑郁症的风险（Kato，2016）。鉴于精神病理学在全球的普遍性，调查应对灵活性和人格等因素至关重要。

期刊介绍： Personality and Individual Differences is devoted to the publication of articles (experimental, theoretical, review) which aim to integrate as far as possible the major factors of personality with empirical paradigms from experimental, physiological, animal, clinical, educational, criminological or industrial psychology or to seek an explanation for the causes and major determinants of individual differences in concepts derived from these disciplines. The editors are concerned with both genetic and environmental causes, and they are particularly interested in possible interaction effects.
