The COPE inventory allows an individual to understand how they cope through stress. There is no particular way to the score the COPE inventory, and no normative data or coping style for the individual taking the test. There is no wrong or rights answers, choose the best answer that you would do and not what someone else would do. Everyone deals with stress differently, but individuals find a way to cope with stress using different approaches. There are two types of coping, problem-focused coping, it is focus on problem solving or doing something to alter the source of the stress, and emotion-focused coping, where it is focus on decreasing the emotional distress this is associated with the situation (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989).
