Is it agreed that suicide is when ones stress and problems outweigh the ability to cope with the stress and problems subjected to?

The article on coping (psychology) discusses responses to stressors from a health psyhology perspective based on the theories of stress, appraisal, and coping proposed by Lazarus and Folkman. The focus is on cognitive-behavioral theories and the analysis of behavior. This article should be merged with "coping skills."

Authors and editors should structure this article based on references from the original works.

objective?

it is a bit unreasonable for me to believe that this article is as objective as possible. there is an immediate between and womanhood. as far as unreasonablity is concerned, i find the numbers to be equal. it is too patriarchal to be taken seriously. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.30.206.52 (talk) 15:56, 16 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

What the hell are you talking about? All those big words don"t mean shit to me.WHAT?

This article seriously needs to be cleaned up. There are references to "finding out information about the disease" with no previous mention about what that disease is. The second half seems to be taken from a self-help website, and is not about what coping is but about how to cope effectively. --130.160.184.160 (talk) 22:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The last section is not information, but instead advice, I think. Regardless it should say, "Person X says, "fkljsdjlksfd"" as opposed to just giving their own personal ideas. Kateaclysmic (talk) 13:28, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guide.

The entire article is like a How-To-Cope article. I think it needs a re-write. --Ryan-McCulloch (talk) 02:01, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Revamp

Major revamp in progress - should end up a lot better. It is an important subject. --Penbat (talk) 14:12, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Number of coping strategies?

The first bit says there are 3 main coping strategies: appraisal-focused, emotion-focused and problem-focused. It then goes on to say that there are 2 main coping strategies, emotion-focused and problem-focused. What happened to appraisal-focused? --Irrevenant [ talk ] 23:37, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article does identify the three main coping strategies well in the beginning, but it could more clearly define them with better organization. The gender differences piece was good to add, with recognizing specifics in each gender and the importance of that. Also, the bbiological basis of the hormones section was good to shed light on because it is a important factor in coping as well. Maybe there could be mmore content on that, or further links to information on it. Another area where perhaps more content would be good, is the maladaptive section. In the beginning of the article is states that maladaptive techniques hurt the coping process, but it does not elaborate too much else on the topic. Again, maybe just some external links with a tad bit more information would give the reader more knowledge about those maladaptive techniques. (AMJonesPT (talk) 02:49, 20 July 2011 (UTC))[reply]
