This paper reports on the results of a pilot study focusing on research into coping strategies against the background of attitudes to faith, spirituality and religion. The aim of the study was to verify the possibilities for measuring coping strategies on a general level; the author also discusses specific categories of spiritual coping. The paper outlines theoretical and methodological starting points and presents interim results gained using the NEO-FFI inventory, the SVF 78 coping strategies questionnaire, and the RCOPE questionnaire. A gender-based approach was applied to the data analysis.
