This is a probe into the mutual interaction of anxiety, coping strategy and type of situation. Spielberger's STPI questionnaire measuring trait anxiety and the Frankovský-Baumgartner inventory of the Strategy of Procedure in Demanding Situations were administered to a sample of 48 students. The results imply that anxiety does not affect the choice of coping strategies to the same degree in all types of situations. In situations relating to employment, anxiety rather supports avoidance behavior, while in those concerned with moral an interpersonal issues it tends to seek support.

Studied effect of the implicit theory (in terms of C. Dweck's entity theory and incremental theory) on the way and characteristics of coping in demanding situation in students. Effective coping is represented by coherence (SOC - Sense of Coherence, Antonovsky) and followed were also the characteristics of self-mastery and anxiety. Gender-induced differences in preference of implicit theories were not confirmed. A more effective coping (a higher level of SOC) were found in subjects preferring incremental theory, as also a higher anxiety level, particularly in women with preference for the entity theory of intelligence.

A sample of 99 subjects from three age groups took part in a research probe intended to clarify the relationships between life satisfaction, accommodation flexibility and negative affectivity (anxiety). Although a comparison according to age failed to make it evident, a selection of Ss according to whether they are extremely satisfied or extremely dissatisfied with life showed that those satisfied achieve significantly higher scores in accommodation flexibility and statistically lower scores in anxiety measures than Ss extremely dissatisfied with life.

The study concentrates on the quantitative and qualitative (content) analysis of counterfactual thinking (CT) in adult women (doctors - pediatricians - n = 25, mean age 35.8; nurses - n = 88, mean age 33.2 years) in the context of selected personality characteristics and ways of (effective) coping with difficult situations in everyday life. CT is studied with the method based on a standardized interview (10 questions), selected personality characteristics with the STPI questionnaire (Spielberger), and coping characteristics with LOQ (Antonovsky) and SM (Pearlin, Schooler) questionnaires. Our findings indicate a lower occurrence of CT associated with higher effectiveness of coping with difficult situations, with higher self-mastery and/or lower anxiety level. The qualitative analysis of demanding situations associated with CT indicates rather their non-specificity.
