Abstract

The effects of life event stress, temperament and coping style on negative emotional experiences were analyzed by the method of structural equation modeling. Two hundred and ninety nine students who attended on-line psychology class were surveyed. As a result dual mediating model is approved superior than the other alternative two models. Which means the effect of life event stress on negative emotional experience is mediated by neuroticism and the effect of neuroticism on negative emotional experience is mediated by problem-solving coping style and avoidance coping style. The avoidance coping style aggravating the experience of negative emotion and the problem-solving coping style relieving the experience of negative emotion. Based on these results the possibilities of using the temperament and coping style as a tool of intervention and the limitation of this study were discussed.
