The basic study - Baker and Barenbaum (2007) 02

 This finding of this study was essentially, three. One is that many individual were identified which played the important part of whether an emotion-focused approach or a problem-focused approach strategy was the best.
 For example, if the participants were not used to accessing their emotions, an emotion-focused approach strategy was useful for them as it helped them identifying their emotions in a way that they might not have considered. Second is that, a significant gender difference. Females were engaging with more of the emotion-focused approach strategies than males. Third is that, the dependence on what the stressful event was. If it was an interpersonal stressor, sorts of a problem with a boyfriend or girlfriend, and then, people are more likely to engage with more an emotion-focused approach strategies and on the other hand, if it was an achievement stressor, sorts of an examination or those kinds of test or some kind of assessments, people are more likely to engage in a problem-focused approach.
