本研究探讨个体如何制定灵活的应对策略的情况下，提出分化和整合作为两个压力评估过程。结果表明，灵活应对的参与者在区分不同的压力情况时采用了可控性和影响的维度。他们还部署了一个综合战略：在被认为是可控的情况下部署更多的监测，而在被认为是不可控制的情况下部署更少的这一战略。灵活性较低的参与者没有采用任何特定的维度，并且倾向于使用更多的监控，而不管情境特征如何。这些结果表明，不同程度的应对灵活性的个体在认知过程中存在差异。灵活科普的个体比不灵活科普的个体表现出更大程度的分化和整合。这些研究结果被转化为压力管理讲习班的战略。
This study investigates how individuals formulate flexible coping strategies across situations by proposing differentiation and integration as two stress-appraisal processes. Results showed that participants who coped more flexibly adopted the dimensions of controllability and impact in differentiating among different stressful situations. They also deployed an integrated strategy: the deployment of more monitoring in situations perceived as controllable but less of this strategy in situations perceived as uncontrollable. Participants who coped less flexibly did not adopt any given dimensions and tended to use more monitoring regardless of situational characteristics. These results suggest that individuals with different extents of coping flexibility differ in the cognitive processes. Individuals who cope more flexibly display a greater extent of differentiation and integration than do those who cope less flexibly. These findings are translated into strategies for stress management workshops.
