Abstract

The current investigation with two separate studies aimed:(a) to investigate the validity of the 3-factor structure of the Problem-Focused Style of Coping (PF-SOC, Heppner et al., 1995), (b) to identify clusters naturally generated on the basis of the extracted dimensions of coping styles in the PF-SOC, and (c) to examine the characteristics of the clusters on measures of procrastination and psychological distress. The results of Study 1(N = 248) provided support for the existence of three coping styles (reflective, suppressive, and reactive) and two clusters of people (reflective-coping group and maladaptive emotion-coping group) with the former group showing higher levels of self-esteem than the latter. The results of Study 2 (N=154) including preliminary cluster analyses revealed that the maladaptive emotion-coping group exhibited higher levels of procrastination as well as most of the indices of psychological distress (obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, psychoticism, and Global Severity Index), compared to their counterpart. This study ends with implications, limitations, and suggestions for future studies.
