Abstract
Aims: The current research aims to identify the preventive coping among university students according to some demographic variables. Method: to achieve the aims of the study, the researcher adopted the Greenglass, Schwarzer & Taubert scale, which consists of (10) items with five alternatives. In order to investigate the validity and reliability of the scale, the researchers applied the scale to a random sample consisted of (300 male and female university students) ranged in age (18-22 years). The psychometric properties of the scales were then calculated. Preventive Coping scale showed high validity and reliability (0.84) and (0.81) respectively. Then, the researchers applied the validated scale to a sample of (200) male and female university students. Results: using the statistical package (SPSS) represented by the t-test for one sample and two independent samples, Pearson correlation coefficient and Alpha Cronbach equation for internal consistency, the results showed that the university students have a high level of preventive coping. The results also indicated that there are differences in coping according to the variable of sex and in favor of females. Too, there are no statistically significant differences in the preventive coping according to the variable of specialization. Suggestion and recommendation: the researchers recommended the there is need to focus on the role of families and educational institutions to support the individual's self-confidence. It was also suggested that the is a gab in literature for more studies to investigate the preventing coping in relation to some variables such as motivation, life satisfaction, and emotional intelligence.
