Abstract
The Aydin-Flow Coping with Stress Scale (AFCSS) based on flow theory was developed on United States college students and consists of multiple samples (N=203). The scale contains five subscales: Self-Assurance, Removal of Obstacles, Setting New Goals, Focus on the World/Active Contact with the Social Environment, and Unselfconscious/Unselfish, according to the previous study in the exploratory factor analysis. The model was reproduced well in a confirmatory factor analysis. Trait anxiety (STAI-T) was related to coping dimensions. Unselfconscious was related to Escape, Distancing, Self Control, Positive Reappraisal, Confronting, Accepting Responsibility, Seeking Social Support, and Planful Problem Solving of Ways of Coping Questionnaire-Revised. Self Assurance was related to Escape, Positive Reappraisal, and Planful Problem Solving. Setting New Goals was related to Self Control, Positive Reappraisal, Seeking Social Support, and Planful Problem Solving. Focus on the World was related to Escape, Positive Reappraisal, and Planful Problem Solving. Removal of Obstacles was related to Escape, Distancing, Self Control, Positive Reappraisal, Confronting, and Planful Problem Solving.
