Also known as coping mechanisms, coping strategies, coping skills, cope with the circumstances

Coping refers to the application of coping mechanisms, conscious and unconscious cognitions that people use to manage unpleasant emotions, stress and anxiety. Coping mechanisms can be adaptive, meaning that they successfully improve the well-being of the person applying them, or maladaptive, meaning they may manage a specific unpleasant emotion, but at the expense of other aspects of one's mental and/or physical health. == Theories of coping == Hundreds of coping strategies have been proposed to explain how people manage stress. However, no universal classification system has been agreed upon.

Las estrategias de afrontamiento (a veces llamadas con el término inglés coping) hacen referencia a los esfuerzos, mediante conducta manifiesta o interna, para hacer frente a las demandas internas y ambientales, y los conflictos entre ellas, que exceden los recursos de la persona. Estos procesos entran en funcionamiento en todos aquellos casos en que se desequilibra la transacción individuo-ambiente. Se trata de un término propio de la psicología y especialmente vinculado al estrés.
