Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of coping flexibility in the relationship of stress and anger, and examine if growth writing improves coping flexibility and anger. In study 1, the moderation effect of coping flexibility in the relationship between stress and anger was examined in a sample of 339 college students. As a result, the moderating effect of coping flexibility in the relationship between stress and trait anger was significant, even after controlling the effects of five single coping strategies. In study 2, 48 college students were randomly assigned to the growth writing group and the expressive writing group to conduct three sessions of writing. The results of study 2 are as follows: First, the growth writing group showed increased coping flexibility and decreased trait-anger in the post-test and the follow-up test. Second, the growth writing group showed more increase in coping flexibility in the post-test and more decrease in trait-anger in the follow-up test compared to the expressive writing group. Third, in the growth writing group, the degree of increase in coping flexibility had a significant correlation to the degree of decrease in trait-anger. The implications and limitations of this study, and suggestions for future studies are discussed.
