| Abstract: | This study investigated the role of coping strategies and perceived controllability of events for stress-related growth (SRG) in the context of daily events. We conducted a longitudinal study with 68 undergraduate students, who completed daily questionnaires for 7 consecutive days. Linear mixed regression analyses revealed that the implementation of problem-focused, emotion-focused and meaning-making coping strategies as a response to daily stressors predict SRG. However, the interaction between the perceived controllability of events and coping strategies did not significantly affect SRG. The match between the specific coping strategy used and the appraisal of the controllability of the event was not crucial for SRG after the daily events. These findings contribute to growth literature, suggesting that the implementation of coping strategies facilitates SRG after daily events, regardless of the perceived controllability of events. |
