The comparison of coping with stress among people with high and low neuroticism: A cross-cultural study

In order to study the differences on coping with stress among students with high and low neuroticism, data were collected from 200 Iranian males and females and 200 Indian males and females. Among Iranian males Mann-Whitney U test showed that males with high neuroticism scored higher on escape avoidance way of coping with stress (z = 2.12, p<0.05), among Indian females those with higher neuroticism scored higher on escape avoidance coping (z= 2.15, p<0.05) and accepting responsibility (z =3.43, p<0.01) and among Indian males those with lower neuroticism scored higher on positive reappraisal (z = 2.31, p<0.01) than those with higher neuroticism. No significant differences were found on coping with stress among Iranian females with low and high neuroticism.
