Summary of hierarchical linear regression results. The solid lines indicate positive associations, while the dotted lines indicate negative associations. High persistence (p<0.001), high cooperativeness (p<0.001), high self-transcendence (p<0.001), and low harm avoidance (p=0.002) were associated with using a problem-focused coping strategy. Being female (p=0.025), having high novelty seeking (p=0.018), high reward dependence (p<0.001), and high self-transcendence (p<0.001) were associated with using a support-seeking coping strategy. In addition, having high novelty seeking (p<0.001), high self-transcendence (p<0.001), and low self-directedness (p=0.001) were associated with using emotion-focused coping strategy. Lastly, being female (p=0.014), having high novelty seeking (p=0.040), high persistence (p<0.001), cooperativeness (p<0.001), and high self-transcendence (p<0.001) were associated with using a hopeful-thinking coping strategy.
