GONZALEZ-TRIJUEQUE, David; TEJERO ACEVEDO, Roberto e DELGADO MARINA, Sabino. Coping strategies in harassed victims: differences between Spanish and latin-american immigrant workers and clinical considerations. Psychol. av. discip. [online]. 2012, vol.6, n.2, pp.56-57. ISSN 1900-2386.
In this article a pilot-study is carried out on the use of coping strategies of Spanish and Latin-American harassed workers who have come in search of help to the "Platform against the Psychosocial Factors and the Labour Discrimination of the Community of Madrid" (PRIDICAM) during the period 2007-2012. The aim of the present study is to verify if significant differences exist in both groups at the moment of confronting the workplace harassment. A transverse study has been realized and the obtained averages have been compared. A sample of 75 Spanish victims and other one of 75 Latin-American victims are considered. All of them completed the SCI (Coping Strategies Inventory). The obtained results indicate that the Latin-American workers use major number of positive emotion-focused strategies and minor negative ones. In addition, the Latin-American workers reach major average in relation to the negative problem-focused strategies. However, the differences in relation to the positive or negative coping are not significant between the studied samples. Finally, different clinical considerations are discussed in relation to the coping strategies and their relation with the workplace bullying as well as their relevancy for the health of the workers.
