Mohammad Ayoob, Abdulrahman Alsultan

Abstract :

 The coping strategies play a significant role in student’s health. This study examines the role of coping strategies in health in a sample of 219 Kashmiri college students (male = 52.10%, female = 47.90%; mean age = 23.30 years, SD = 1.70) who migrated to Bhopal, India for receiving higher education. Coping strategies were evaluated by means of the ways of coping (Folkman & Lazarus, 1985), while health was assessed using the general health questionnaire (Goldberg & Hillier, 1979). The results show a relationship between coping style and health. The findings of the study revealed that focus on the positive, detachment, wishful thinking and self–blame coping were found significant predictors of health for students. Implications of present findings for student’s health are discussed.
