Relationship of Stress Coping Strategies and Life Satisfaction among Students

The present study aims at examining the relationship between stress coping strategies and the life satisfaction of students. The sample size of this study consists of 205 students randomly selected from the science and art faculties of Sistan and Baluchestan University. The Stress Coping Strategies Inventory and the Student Life Satisfaction Scale were used to collect data. Results illustrated that life satisfaction significantly correlated with task focus and avoidance coping (p<0.01), but emotion focus had no significant correlation with life satisfaction. The results of the stepwise regression revealed that avoidance coping (p<0.001) was related to student life satisfaction and it accounted for 9.4% variance in the life satisfaction of students.
