Coping refers to thoughts and behaviors used to manage stressful situations. The term is used for conscious and voluntary acts, as opposed from 'defense mechanisms' (subconscious or unconscious adaptive responses).
Coping scales are used to measure the type of coping mechanism a person uses. Commonly used scales are COPE (Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced), Ways of Coping Questionnaire, Coping Strategies Questionnaire, Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations, Religious-COPE, and Coping Response Inventory.[1]
