Direct+Coping

**__Direct Coping Mechanisms__**

__Confrontation__ - Acknoledging a stressful situation directly and attempting to find a solution to the problem or attain the difficult goal. A straight-forward way of facing the person/situation that has caused you anger or stress. ​

__Compromise__ - Deciding on a more realistic solution or goal when an ideal solution or goal is not practical. Compromise usually resolves a conflict by forcing us to settle for less than we originally sought. This is the most common coping device.

__Withdrawal__ - Avoiding a situation when others forms of coping are not practical. The woman whose promotion depends on temporarily relocation might just quit her job and join another company is an example of withdrawal. ​
