But how far human beings can apply this mantra in real life situation is a question. In Psychology, coping is expending conscious effort to solve personal and interpersonal problems, and seeking to master, minimize or tolerate stress or conflict. The effectiveness of the coping efforts depends on the type of stress and/or conflict, the particular individual, and the circumstances.

The study also intended to see the gender differences in the coping mechanism of HIV infected persons.
