Abstract My journey in the field of stress and coping began in the mid 1980s when I was researching the rather new field of childhood depression. It was a relatively under-explored field, and as a clinical and educational psychologist it was becoming increasingly apparent that there were concerns of young people, with some of these reflected in their experiences of sadness and despair. However, as I researched and measured the depression construct, I became aware of despair as a growing phenomenon, with an increased focus and emphasis on stress, anxiety and depression. In time, the statistics would bear out the concerns, as one in four young people have identified as being or are likely to be depressed in their lifetime in some Western communities like Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom (WHO, 2018). Given the growing ‘ill health’ of our Western communities, something had to change. In the 1980s, young people were concerned about their future with the fear of nuclear war. As I was writing this invited retrospective in late 2019, there were widespread concerns about global warming, and in the first half of 2020 concerns arising from the pandemic of COVID-19 are dominating. Coping theory research and practice can make a significant contribution to how we cope with our world in general and the specifics of our lives in particular. This article reports a body of work in the field of coping to illustrate the value of the core constructs and their applications in diverse settings providing opportunities for helpful adaptation and development in the face of whatever circumstances arise.

我的应对研究和实践之旅:动力和相关性

摘要 我在压力和应对领域的旅程始于 1980 年代中期,当时我正在研究相当新的儿童抑郁症领域。这是一个相对未充分探索的领域,作为一名临床和教育心理学家,年轻人的担忧越来越明显,其中一些反映在他们的悲伤和绝望经历中。然而,当我研究和测量抑郁结构时,我意识到绝望是一种日益严重的现象,越来越关注和强调压力、焦虑和抑郁。随着时间的推移,统计数据将证实这些担忧,因为在澳大利亚、美国和英国等一些西方社区,四分之一的年轻人已经确定在他们的一生中患有或可能患有抑郁症(世卫组织,2018 年)。鉴于我们西方社区的“健康状况不佳”日益严重,必须做出一些改变。在 1980 年代,年轻人因害怕核战争而担心自己的未来。当我在 2019 年底撰写这篇受邀回顾时,人们普遍担心全球变暖,而在 2020 年上半年,由 COVID-19 大流行引起的担忧占主导地位。应对理论研究和实践可以对我们如何应对一般世界和特别是我们生活的细节做出重大贡献。本文报告了应对领域的一系列工作,以说明核心构念的价值及其在不同环境中的应用,为在出现任何情况时提供有益的适应和发展机会。年轻人担心核战争,担心他们的未来。当我在 2019 年底撰写这篇受邀回顾时,人们普遍担心全球变暖,而在 2020 年上半年,由 COVID-19 大流行引起的担忧占主导地位。应对理论研究和实践可以对我们如何应对一般世界和特别是我们生活的细节做出重大贡献。本文报告了应对领域的一系列工作,以说明核心构念的价值及其在不同环境中的应用,为在出现任何情况时提供有益的适应和发展机会。年轻人担心核战争,担心他们的未来。当我在 2019 年底撰写这篇受邀回顾时,人们普遍担心全球变暖,而在 2020 年上半年,由 COVID-19 大流行引起的担忧占主导地位。应对理论研究和实践可以对我们如何应对一般世界和特别是我们生活的细节做出重大贡献。本文报告了应对领域的一系列工作,以说明核心构念的价值及其在不同环境中的应用,为在出现任何情况时提供有益的适应和发展机会。人们普遍担心全球变暖,而在 2020 年上半年,由 COVID-19 大流行引起的担忧占主导地位。应对理论研究和实践可以对我们如何应对一般世界和特别是我们生活的细节做出重大贡献。本文报告了应对领域的一系列工作,以说明核心构念的价值及其在不同环境中的应用,为在出现任何情况时提供有益的适应和发展机会。人们普遍担心全球变暖,而在 2020 年上半年,由 COVID-19 大流行引起的担忧占主导地位。应对理论研究和实践可以对我们如何应对一般世界和特别是我们生活的细节做出重大贡献。本文报告了应对领域的一系列工作,以说明核心构念的价值及其在不同环境中的应用,为在出现任何情况时提供有益的适应和发展机会。
