Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Devon's behavior is characterized by regressive coping, where he avoids the situation that causes him stress (flying and discussions about flying or plane crashes) rather than confronting or adapting to it. This is a form of coping that involves withdrawal or escape from the stressor, rather than dealing with it directly or trying to change the situation.
