Abstract
This study attempted to take a closer look at the coping styles and stress tolerance of care givers of schizophrenic patients and to determine the relationship between coping styles and stress tolerance of the caregivers of schizophrenic patients. A total number of 70 caregivers were selected using purposive sampling method. The tools used in this study are Life Change Event Inventory and AECOM Coping Scale Questionnaire. Data were cleaned and analyzed by SPSS version 16.00 windows. It is concluded that the caregivers of schizophrenic patients tend to use certain coping styles more than others and this preference lowers the stress experienced. It is also concluded that caregivers of schizophrenic patients are hardier due to the sociocultural expectations imposed on them.

Summary
This study attempted to take a closer look at the coping styles and stress tolerance of care givers of schizophrenic patients and to determine the relationship between coping styles and stress tolerance of the caregivers of schizophrenic patients. It is concluded that the caregivers of schizophrenic patients tend to use certain coping styles more than others and this preference lowers the stress experienced. The chronic burden of caregiving to a patient with schizophrenia is likely to generate negative emotions. Bentelspache et al identified predictors of high expressed emotions among caregivers of relatives with schizophrenia based on the stress-coping model. A Study of Coping Styles and Stress Tolerance in the Caregivers of Schizophrenic Patients people to be aware of this consensus. Gross[3] cites Tavris that the view that man is the norm and women is the opposite, lesser or deficient one of the three currently competing views regarding what she calls the “mismeasure of women.” This is the view that underlies so much psychological research designed to discover why women are not as something (moral, intelligent, rational) as men. The nature of women’s lives and realities render them at risk for stress-related effects more often than men
