Sažetak
While certain types of situations affect the use and appropriateness of specific coping strategies, our prepositions and characteristics also influence both how we cope with life in general, and with specific situations. One of the specially challenging situations is the experience of committing offence and serving prison sentence. It was hypothesized that personality traits and specific coping strategies play significant role in not only dealing with prison adjustment and psychological distress, but also with coping with the offence(s). Thus, this study examined how personality traits, coping styles, chronic distress and self-blame are associated with offence-related distress, self-blame, and denial in the convenience sample of 674 male prisoners who completed the questionnaire in small groups. Implications of the roles of personality, coping strategies, and chronic distress and responsibility in understanding of the behavior-related distress, responsibility, and minimization of harm are discussed in the context of offending.
