| description | This paper presents a study on gender differences in stress
coping styles among psychology students in International
Islamic University Malaysia. It is hypothesized that male
respondents would be more likely to use problem-focused
rather than emotion-focused coping style in dealing with
stress as compared to the female respondents. A questionnaire consisted of 15 close-ended items was
constructed and pilot-tested to 15 psychology students (7
males and 8 females). Minor changes were made after the
pilot, and the actual survey was administered to 50
psychology students (25 males and 25 females). An
analysis of variance of the data failed to support the
hypothesis, with F (1, 48) = 3.273, p = .077. Justifications
of the results in terms of overlapping roles and
responsibilities for both males and females are discussed.
Classification of items and more options for answers are
suggested for future research. |
