CORRELATION BETWEEN HAPPINES AND COPING STRATEGIES

Abstract

During this investigation it has been developed a narrative review about the Happiness and Coping Strategies variables, allowing us to establish that the implementation of coping may allow any subject to a state of happyness. For this mean, the concept of Happyness has been defined as an unidimensional construct with any constitutive especification that departs from a philosophichal conceptualization (Eudaimonia and Hedonism), which eventually would arrive to the psichological field as a sum of benefits for the mental and phisical health. On the other side, the second variable, Coping Strategies, was described as a set of answers and manners oriented to evolutive and ambiental demands, being classified as either Adaptive (meant for the resolution of taks via constructive means) or Maladaptive (those which have an orientation towards risk or evasive copping). It was determined that an appropriate development about emotional intelligence would allow the subject to have a more efficient control of his/her emotions when opting for coping strategy, making it easier for the subject to fully comprehend the task at hand due to the intervenering nature of the coping itself, reaching to the conclusion that Coping Strategies affects people Happyness, generating benefits for their mental and biological status.
