ABSTRACT
This study utilized the Coping Mechanism measure and the Trait Meta Mood Scale to measure various aspects of mood and coping mechanisms. Participants were recruited through a non-probability convenient sampling method and were asked to complete the questionnaires online. The study aimed to test the correlation between coping mechanisms and mood using the Pearson r correlation test. Results showed significant correlations between mood scores and emotions focused and problem-focused coping mechanisms. Avoidance coping was significantly correlated with Attention to feeling, and Problem focused coping was significantly correlated with repair of mood. These findings are consistent with previous literature. Future studies may benefit from collecting samples from distressed induced events and controlling for variables such as socio-economic status, age, and employment status.
