积极应对是积极心理学研究的一个新热点，它针对的是即将到来的压力而不是正在进行的压力。然而，这一结构的两种不同的概念化造成了混乱。本研究比较了积极应对的每一种操作与幸福感的关系。参与者（N = 281）面临着即将到来的大学考试完成了积极应对量表（PCI;由两个分量表，每个评估的概念之一），积极应对能力量表（PCS;评估积极应对过程），和幸福的措施。结果表明，将积极应对概念化为积极专注于目标的努力是幸福感的预测（从影响，主观幸福感和身体症状的共享方差），而将积极应对概念化为专注于防止消极的未来则不是。第一个概念化的积极应对的独特的关联与幸福的解释两个积极的能力，资源的使用和现实的目标设定，其余的差异在幸福的第一个因素的乐观。这些结果表明，渴望一个积极的未来是明显的预测福祉，研究应侧重于积累资源和目标设定在设计干预措施，以促进积极应对。
Proactive coping, directed at an upcoming as opposed to an ongoing stressor, is a new focus in positive psychology research. However, two differing conceptualizations of this construct create confusion. This study compared how each operationalization of proactive coping relates to well-being. Participants (N = 281) facing an upcoming college examination completed the Proactive Coping Inventory (PCI; consisting of two subscales that each assess one of the conceptualizations), the Proactive Competence Scale (PCS; that assesses the proactive coping process), and measures of well-being. The results demonstrated that conceptualizing proactive coping as a positively-focused striving for goals was predictive of well-being (the shared variance from affect, subjective well-being and physical symptoms), whereas conceptualizing proactive coping as focused on preventing a negative future was not. The first conceptualization of proactive coping’s unique association with well-being was explained by two of the proactive competencies, use of resources and realistic goal setting, and the remaining variance in well-being was explained by the first factor of optimism. These results demonstrated that aspiring for a positive future is distinctly predictive of well-being and that research should focus on accumulating resources and goal setting in designing interventions to promote proactive coping.
