Abstract
This dissertation reports on an exploratory study of Singaporean adults' coping behavior. One-hundred and ninety-five participants were involved in the study. They were made up of mental health clients attending a rehabilitation program and healthy adults. A coping questionnaire was administered to the clients and other adults by either the mental health officer/counselor or the researcher. The questionnaire requested the participants to specify a major life event they encountered, and then self-reported ways of coping on a Likert scale. Styles of coping of participants were analyzed. The findings help imply specifically the role of rehabilitation in positive psychology, recovery and coping.
