Abstract
Appraisal, coping, and negative moods were examined in a convenience sample (N = 77) of individuals experiencing exercise stress testing to evaluate cardiac disease. Only three types of coping patterns–self-controlling, escape–avoidance, and confrontive coping–were significantly related to appraisal and negative moods. Only a small proportion of the variance in negative moods was accounted for through a mediating effect by the type of coping pattern. Appraisal had a direct effect on negative moods when self-controlling and escape-avoidance were entered as the coping patterns. Negative moods decreased and appraisals became more positive after the procedure. Appraisals, but not negative moods, were influenced by the results of the procedure.
