Emotion-focused coping is "a stress management technique that involves regulating negative emotional reactions to a stressor, rather than directly addressing the problem causing the stress. It's often used when a person feels the stressor is beyond their ability to change, focusing instead on managing their feelings about the situation.[1]
Emotional-focused coping vs. problem solving
"Life is one long series of problems to solve. The more you solve, the better a man you become." - Sir Radzig Kobyla, March of 1403.
See also: Problem solving and Creative problem solving and Positive thinking and Stress management
According to the American Society for Quality: "Problem solving is the act of defining a problem; determining the cause of the problem; identifying, prioritizing, and selecting alternatives for a solution; and implementing a solution."[2]
Being adept at problem solving is vital to thriving in one's personal and professional endeavors.
"Emotion-focused coping and problem-focused coping are two distinct strategies for managing stress, but they are not mutually exclusive. Problem-focused coping aims to directly address the source of stress by changing the situation, while emotion-focused coping seeks to manage the negative emotions that arise from stress."[3]
Being adept at problem solving and fixing problems while they are still small is superior to mere coping skills. See also: Proactivity
Also, having a growth mindset and engaging in positive thinking helps one look at problems as opportunities for learning.
