Anxiety, Coping, and Flow

Empirical studies in interactional perspective


Introduction

In the study of coping, culture can be regarded as making up an important set of factors that might influence the kinds of coping strategies adopted. By means of common laws (written or unwritten), norms, rules and attitudes, individuals are socialized into the cultural and social mechanisms that pervade their daily lives. Within one and the same cultural setting, such socialization will inevitably tend to homogenize different individuals’ perceptions and interpretations of the situational events they encounter. Perceptions of situations are, at least to some extent, governed by physical and geographical conditions and socio-cultural patterns. From this it follows that individuals raised and/or living and functioning in a particular environment or culture will share common world conceptions; consequently, they will have some degree of situation-perception communality. Thus, culture can be regarded as both an internal, person bound, value-laden variable and also as an external variable, encouraging conformity in habits and attitudes.
