Abstract
A sample of 85 HIV-infected Americans completed a questionnaire that assessed coping styles, depression, and physical illness. We examined the relationships of emotion-focused coping and problem-focused coping to depression and physical illness. A two-way analysis of variance revealed a significant main effect for emotion-focused coping on depression: Those who used more emotion-focused coping also experienced more depression. No interaction effects or main effects for problem-focused coping were found.Keywords
