Ninety psychiatric in‐patients and 73 controls have been asked about their coping styles to negative life‐events. Patients reported more emotion‐oriented coping than controls. Emotion‐oriented coping style was positively correlated with psychopathology, while task‐oriented coping was negatively correlated with psychopathology in events which the participants had difficulties dealing with.
