This study examines the impact of gender on the coping mechanisms employed to
manage work-related stress.
The aim of the investigation was to determine whether male and female
professionals differ in terms of the coping mechanisms that they employ in
managing work-related stress. In order to achieve this aim an assessment battery
containing a Biographical Checklist, the Coping Checklist, the Hassles Scale and
the Daily Uplifts Scale was distributed to a sample of professional men and
women.
The fmdings indicate that male and female professionals differ significantly in only
two of the six coping mechanisms measured, namely social support and symptom
management; that men and women do not differ significantly in terms of coping
repertoire; and that women cope more effectively than their male counterparts with
work-related· stress. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial Psychology)
