Abstract
In this chapter we highlight findings from a program of research on coping with role strain and role conflict. Earlier research from our laboratory has focused primarily on how people deal with stressful life events such as physical disability (e.g., Bulman & Wortman, 1977) or the loss of a loved one (see, e.g., Lehman, Wortman, & Williams, 1987). Long-term goals of this research program include elaborating the theoretical mechanisms through which stress has deleterious effects on subsequent health and functioning (see Silver & Wortman, 1980, or Kessler, Price, & Wort-man, 1985, for reviews).
