Abstract

Life satisfaction is associated with one’s well-being. Part of everyday life is how one copes with stressors, whether it be from peers, family, financial, etc. The current study found that individuals with lower life satisfaction had higher forms of behavioral disengagement, self-blame, and denial than individuals with higher life satisfaction.
