Coping is using thoughts and actions to deal with internal and external conflicts from stressful situations. The relationship between coping and personality is someone’s character and how they deal with stressful situations will impact how they will cope with the situation. A person with a negative mood will likely deal with situations in a negative way which may be due to unfortunate factors that influence their mood and situation. Though a negative coping mechanism may impede the progress of getting through a tough situation. A person with a positive mood will likely cope in a positive way due to a better response to the circumstances and a lower level of stress to help them get through that stressful situation. Everyone copes differently and some coping mechanisms are negative or positive due to how the person approaches the situation.
