This study was following study on the relationship between behavior pattern and perceived stress. This study tried to identify some dimensions about the behavior pattern and stress coping method of 127 clerical workers on a manufacturing firm. The data were collected from Oct, 4 to Oct 11,1991.
Two instruments were used in this study. The first one to measure behavior pattern, was Jenkins Activity Survey consisted of 59 items. The second one was for evaluating coping methods. It consisted of 36 items on the basis of Bell's 18-items Questionnaire. Analysis of data was done by frequency, ANOVA, factor, score, corr procedure.
The results were as follows;
1. The stress coping method was identified and named as positive coping pattern, alternative coping pattern, emotional expression pattern and avoidant response pattern.
2. Positive coping pattern(F=7.09, p=.01) and emotional expression pattern(F=9.58, P=.00) showed significant difference in sex. Alternative coping pattern showed significant difference in education level(F=4.03, p=.02).
3. There were significant positive correlation between tensioned behavioral pattern and emotional expression pattern(r=.3537, p=.00), between active behavioral pattern and positive coping pattern(r=.3876, p=.00). There was negative significant correlation between job-attached behavioral pattern and emotional expression coping pattern(r=.1956, p=.05).
