Abstract
The potential differing effects of coping on work-related outcomes for men and women were investigated. Participants were recruited from night classes in psychology and business and asked to complete an 113-item questionnaire . Of the 400 questionnaires distributed, 181 fully completed questionnaires (56 men and 125 women) were returned within 1 week to the respective instr uctors and thus were included in the analyses. All participants were workin g full time (> 35 hours per week). The results indicated that men and women differed on few coping responses. However, multiple regression analyses di d suggest different trends on the effectiveness of coping for men and women . These results are discussed in terms of men and women's differing respons es to stress in the workplace.
