The concept of proactive coping contains the aspect of time in the sense of involving steps that are to precede the situations to be coped with. In the sample of 172 subjects, the differences were studied between groups defined by the above factors. The results show age-related differences in proactive coping where older people compared with younger ones prefer proactive coping more often, and women compared with men seek instrumental support coping strategy more often.

The study focuses on the analysis of relations between personality dimensions of adolescents and the preference for reactive and proactive coping strategies, and indicates the differences between these two types of strategies. Personality dimensions were studied with NEO-FFI (Costa, McCrae, 1992), reactive coping strategies were studied with COPE inventory (Carver et al., 1989) and proactive coping strategies with Proactive Coping Inventory (PCI; Greenglass et al., 1999). The results are discussed in terms of the differences between boys and girls. In comparison with boys, the girls showed significantly higher neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and no significantly higher conscientiousness. The boys more often preferred problem- focused strategies and among their avoidance strategies are behavioural disengagement and humor. The girls more often apply emotion-focused strategies, seeking instrumental and emotional support especially, but also avoidance strategies of denial, mental disengagement, use of alcohol or drug.

The integrated person is defined by Rogers as unified within him/herself at all levels and with low discrepancy between the present self and the desired self. Optimal functioning of a person occurs when the various aspects of a person are integrated into a relatively harmonious organization. This paper presents a research study where relationships between the level of personal psychological integration and proactive coping, self-esteem, neuroticism and openness to experience in non-therapeutic settings (n = 55 administrative workers) are studied. The authors found that the highly integrated persons are more proactive, have more positive self-esteem and are less neurotic. The relationship between psychological integration and openness was not confirmed.
