Abstrakt:	The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between executive function and coping at one-year-post traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI and matched control groups completed a coping questionnaire and a neuropsychological test series. In the TBI group, better executive performance was related to the use of problem focused coping (considered more adaptive). Conversely, lower executive performance was related to the use of emotion focused coping (considered more maladaptive). Planned hierarchical regression showed that executive function contributed significantly to the use of problem focused coping above and beyond pre-morbid intelligence and injury severity. Implications for cognitive rehabilitation are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
