The Relationship between Coping-style and Self-acceptance among 239 Female Addicts

Objectives To explore the relationship between coping-style and self-acceptance among female addicts.Methods 239 female addicts were randomly selected and tested with the self-acceptance questionnaire(SAQ)and the coping-style questionnaire(TCSQ).Results The positive coping-style(35.24±7.02)and negative coping-style(32.56±7.12)were significantly higher than the norm(30.26±8.74,21.25±7.41).The level of self-acceptance(18.94±4.13)and total score of self-acceptance(39.66±6.09)were significantly lower than the norm(21.76±4.43,42.06±6.63).The level of self-acceptance was negatively correlated with the negative coping-style(r=-0.346,P0.01),and the level of self-evaluation was positively correlated with positive coping-style(r=0.203,P0.01).Positive coping-style(r=0.241,P0.01)and negative coping-style(r=-0.261,P0.01)had a significantly positive correlation and a significantly negative correlation with the total score of self-acceptance respectively.Coping-style could be predicted by self-acceptance to some extent.Conclusions There is a certain psychological problem in female addicts,and they are more likely to use negative coping-style and have lower self-acceptance.
