Abstract

A large body of evidence attests to direct or indirect relations between coping strategies and academic achievement, students’ wellbeing and personality disposition. The primary objective of the present study was to determine whether a meaningful integration could be obtained from the three academic coping styles. The secondary objective was to test the relationship between students’ coping style and academic achievement, life satisfaction, and personality. The findings revealed that the typology defined by students’ coping styles was replicable and meaningful. The differentiation of the clusters in regard to external criterion variables supported the validity of the typology and was consistent with the extant researches.
