Abstract
66 college men and 61 women were asked how they coped with feelings of tension and depression and completed Barron's Ego Strength Scale. Ego strength was negatively correlated with coping by reliance on professionals. Men higher in ego strength were more likely to cope by analyzing the problem and taking direct action. Women were more likely to use escape (watching TV, making a trip). As expected, personal resources for coping were more limited for those lower in ego strength.
