Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Avoidance and denial are forms of emotion-focused coping, which involves regulating one's emotional distress rather than directly solving the problem causing the distress. This can be a maladaptive coping strategy if it is the only one used, as it does not address the underlying problem and can lead to further negative consequences. The answer D is irrelevant to the question and A and C are incorrect as avoidance and denial are not effective or problem-focused coping strategies.
