Coping and Developmental Theory: Applicability to Selective Study of Normal Men.
Year: 1965
Type: article
Abstract: : A clinically derived psychiatric theory concerning personality development, applicable to Air Force selection of personnel for specific tasks, training, and environments, is discussed. Adult 'coping' patterns are considered in terms of a universal developmental sequence--simpler modes of behavior which become incorporated in more complex adult derivatives. Successful adaptation is believed to depend upon personality strength as well as coping techniques. A result of a preliminary research is presented to show how coping devices may be observed, categorized, rated, and used in selection procedures.
