What is the difference between emotion-focused and problem-focused coping?

· Anything “borrowed” from your textbook or other source must be paraphrased (in your own words) – direct quotes /verbatim information are never permitted from any source on any assessment in this course.

· All borrowed material from all sources (including the textbook) must be properly cited and referenced {APA citation only). Don’t “stress” – APA is a lot like MLA. If you don’t know how to do it, do what I do when I have questions about APA: watch some videos on You Tube.

· All outside sources must be college level (scholarly).
