| Popis: | We examined differences in coping styles among African American (AA) and White veterans and tested their mediating roles on the relationship between race and illness intrusiveness. AA (n = 103) and White (n = 298) older veterans completed a baseline screening. AAs reported higher scores than Whites on maladaptive coping, yet there were no racial differences in adaptive coping. Maladaptive but not adaptive coping mediated the relation between race and illness intrusiveness. Coping strategies in chronically ill veterans may be different for cultural groups and related to illness perceptions. |
