Coping Health
摘要
Coping health encompasses the adaptive and maladaptive strategies individuals employ to manage stress and emotional discomfort, with financial behaviors serving as both triggers for and responses to psychological distress. This chapter examines how financial circumstances intersect with coping mechanisms across substance use disorders, behavioral addictions, and money disorders that reflect underlying psychological needs and emotional dysregulation. The relationship between financial stress and problematic coping behaviors creates complex feedback loops where financial precarity can trigger substance use or behavioral addictions, while these coping strategies simultaneously worsen financial circumstances through direct costs and impaired decision-making. Money disorders including compulsive buying, gambling, hoarding, and financial denial represent maladaptive financial coping mechanisms that serve psychological functions while creating significant financial and emotional consequences. The chapter explores how financial challenges manifest in these behavioral patterns, requiring interventions that address both practical financial skills and underlying psychological drivers.
