Description
Crises and critical life transitions activate 2 distinct but complementary modes of coping (a) transforming developmental circumstances in accordance with personal preferences (assimilative tendency) and (b) adjusting personal preferences to situational constraints (accommodative tendency). Assimilative and accommodative tendencies were measured by a questionnaire comprising 2 independent scales: Tenacious Goal Pursuit and Flexible Goal Adjustment.
