YOGYAKARTA The strategy of coding is a way to solve problems, which turns out to be wrong or wrong, actually causes psychological pressure. Especially the maladaptive coding strategy that focuses on emotions tends to avoid tense situations and even delays overcoming the problem.

According to research by Pearlin and Schooler,AGEd by child psychiatrist Christine BL Adams, MD. reported by Psychology Today, Monday, December 2, people's personalities help overcome stressful situations. In controlling the situation, it is very helpful if they are responsive in dealing with a problem. That means, they are more focused on problems, not on emotions. So that person is involved in cognitive efforts in solving problems.

When overcoming emotional problems, people tend to decide to avoid situations by procrastinating, addicted to certain activities, or accepting the idea that they cannot manage the situation they are in. According to Lazarus and Folkman, this is experienced by people with psychological symptoms. Psychological stress will increase in tense situations, especially with a maladaptive coding style.

Of course, dealing with tense situations by avoiding does not help solving problems. Avoidance involves denial of problems that are faced, delaying taking action, addiction to certain behaviors, substance abuse, and diverting from emotions and thoughts. Bad handling due to penhindadran, is found in people with clinical depression diagnosis,▁suhu, and anxiety disorders. Avoided handling styles do not overcome the causes that underlie the urgency. Avoiding restless moments causes lower self-esteem, according to Moos and Schaefer.

Although avoidance has a negative note, there are several circumstances where avoidance can be useful. For example, when the risk is too high or when threatened. This means that the situation is out of someone's control so avoiding the situation can help.

In addition to the style of coding focusing on emotions, the collaborative coding strategy also doesn't help much with dealing with situations or problems. Because by confrontation, a person is in a tense situation, there are more psychological symptoms, and usually does not solve the problem can threaten self-esteem. Except for coding strategies for cancer sufferers, because it is necessary to share ideas and emotions in asking for the support of medical personnel who care for them.

Through the explanation above, the handling of problems and situations varies widely. It depends on how the emotional size and cognitive assessment are in the midst of stressful situations. In general, a coding strategy that focuses on problems, not on emotions, is better to deal with problems than to avoid or contronte. But back to what situation is being experienced. That is, there is no definite measure, it's just better to involve cognitive assessment instead of greater emotions.
