Abstract
This chapter reviews research on the effects of partner support on coping with stress. The authors argue that support from the spouse plays a key role in both promoting adaptive coping and discouraging maladaptive ways of coping. In addition, they review evidence that support from the spouse both enhances coping effectiveness and mitigates the negative effects of maladaptive coping strategies. A dyadic coping framework is used to examine the social context of coping, with a focus on the role of the spouse in rumination, catastrophizing, emotional expression, and positive reappraisal as responses to family stress, pain, and chronic illness.
Keywords:
catastrophizing, chronic illness, dyadic coping, emotional expression, pain, positive reappraisal, rumination, spouse support
