The common sense model of illness self-regulation outlines the dynamic processes by which individuals perceive, interpret, and respond to health threats and illness-related information. An extended version of the model is proposed, which specifies additional constructs and processes to explain how lay perceptions of health threats impact coping responses and health-related outcomes.

The situational version of the Brief Cope: Dimensionality and relationships with goal-related variables
2015

The results confirmed the theoretical factor structure of the situational Brief COPE. All…
