Abstract

This study researched associations among positive illusions, defense mechanisms, and stress coping style in order to investigate personal characteristic required to effectively deal with stress. For this study, 410 university students consist of 172 male and 238 female in Seoul were recruited. The results of this study were as follows; First of all, there were statistically significant correlations between positive illusions and stress coping styles. Moreover, positive illusions had significant effects on active coping style, but no significant effects on passive coping style. Second, there were statistically significant correlations between defense mechanisms and stress coping styles. Also, defense mechanisms had respectively significant effects on active coping style and passive coping style. Finally, the results suggested that the adaptive type of defense mechanisms partially plays a mediator role in the effects of positive illusions on active coping style. Therefore, theoretical implications for counseling or education as well as suggestions of this study were discussed.
