I created my sandbox so that I wouldn't be marking up the wikipedia articles that I plan on editting. I'm hoping that this way I'll be able to more easily play with the mechanics of the site before someone calls me out too badly. Here we go!

Also, we could talk about strategies in fixing with Avoidance Coping as well as symptoms, etc. Oh! Here is your other source to help out with! I didn't see that there. Well if we could source that for our annotated bibliography, that would be great!KESigmund13 (talk) 13:42, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Avoidance coping

What I'm hoping to do is just to increase the knowledge about Avoidance coping in general. I know that it is connected to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder but I think that could cause it to merge and lose its own article. So I'm hoping to just expand upon what it really is. Maybe I could even expand on its symptoms and whatnot. Really since there is nothing here at the moment other than a definition and my own information, I have a lot to work with. So I'm starting by collecting a few sources to point me in a general direction. As people help me to edit, I will be more than happy to talk with them about how the work for this article should go about.

Avoidance Coping Article

Avoidance copingFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search

This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Please help improve the article with a good introductory style. (August 2010) 

Avoidance coping, or escape coping, is a kind of generally maladaptive coping,[1] characterized by the effort to escape from having to deal with a stressor.[2]Post Traumatic Stres s Disorder symptoms are thought to be the precursor to avoidance coping. PTSD symptoms are high stress which cause the person suffering from them to draw into themselves, avoiding the problem entirely and leading to avoidance coping whether it be cognative or behavioral.[3]

I thought it would be a good idea to have seperate sections for each of our work before we combine them in the dumby article here in the sandbox. So this is my little mini section where I'll put stuff as I write in my part of the article.KESigmund13 (talk) 13:42, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

I will look for a couple more sources, as I have found one and create an annotative bibliography and place it below here so that you can place it where it needs to know because I don't know where it needs to be. --BSchaefferNERD (talk) 17:58, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

for annotative bibliography This article from the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology provides a study conducted on athletes’ coping style as a function of gender and race using the approach-avoidance framework. The purpose of this study was to identify the coping styles of competitive athletes during the contest perceived as highly stressful using approach and avoidance coping frame work. After the results suggested that the athletes’ preferred the avoidance coping style. What is interesting is that the male athletes’ used more approach coping than female athletes’. Though no significant interaction was found and further research will be needed this shows one way how avoidance coping can be involved in stressful situations

1.The author has spent years studying this subject, so in my mind that qualifies as a bit of an expert. After years of work I would assume you would know your stuff. This book covers the topic of Avoidance Coping and how it happens in daily life. It covers things like people using avoidance coping because of low self esteem and fears in their daily lives. This book tries to cover how to overcome the use of this type of coping to live a healthier life in general. It would be a great source since it covers the topic as well as going into specific cases about it and its symptoms. It seems though that it is a bit more for the person that has studied the topic, since the terms can be a little challenging at times.

3.I chose this source because it is not only a credible resource for this topic, it also has a few good points in how avoidance coping creates more stress. I think that this would be a good addition to the article.
