Sažetak
It is known that stress threatens optimal human functioning and
that the usage of efficient coping strategies may alleviate its
negative consequences. In the present paper we studied the
possible mediating effect of self-esteem on the relation between
various coping strategies and subjective well-being. The study
was conducted on a sample of 556 students from seven
faculties from the University of Zagreb. The participants were
asked to provide self-rating of the current stress level, and to fill
out a shortened version of COPE, Satisfaction with Life Scale,
Affect Balance Scale, Self-Esteem Scale and Social Desirability
Scale. The mediation hypothesis was tested according to the
methodology proposed by Baron and Kenny (1986). The results
indicate that self-respect could indeed be a mediator in the
relationship between various coping strategies and achieving
subjective well-being. Furthermore, in the case of avoidant
coping the hypothesis of a total mediation could not be rejected.
