When it came to the problem-focused strategy the results showed the opposite of what we expected, women were the ones using the problem-focused coping. The results from an emotionally focused strategy showed what we expected from previous research and theory, that women tended to use the strategy more. Furthermore, the avoidance coping strategy result also showed what we thought, that there is no major gender difference. (Less)
