Approach coping involves using strategies to reduce or eliminate the stressor or its effects (e.g., distress). Avoidance coping in this context refers to disengaging from the stressor or its effects. For example, problem-focused approach coping involves planning whereas problem-focused avoidance coping involves behavioral disengagement. Emotion-focused approach coping involves cognitive restructuring whereas emotion-focused avoidance coping involves denial.
