Think of a negative event in your life. The following items deal with ways you coped with that event. There are many ways to try to deal with problems, and different people deal with things in different ways. We are interested in how you tried to deal with it. Each item says something about a particular way of coping. We want to know to what extent you did what the items says. HOW MUCH OR HOW FREQUENTLY. Don't answer on the basis of what worked or not--just whether you did it. Try to rate each item separately in your mind from the others. Make you answers as true FOR YOU as you can.
