The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relationship between coping, career salience, attachment, and workplace variables in partnered, working women with children under 18 years old living at home. A second objective of this study was to determine the continued usefulness of Hall's (1972) coping styles scoring strategy for this population. Women who were securely or avoidantly attached were more likely to use Type I coping strategies in response to a hypothetical vignette, while women who were ambivalently attached were more likely to engage in Type III strategies. In describing actual dilemmas, more securely attached and fewer ambivalently attached women reported engaging in Type III behaviors, while fewer securely attached and more ambivalently attached women reporting using Type II strategies. No support was found for the relationship between coping styles, attachment and work environment variables (flextime, company support, supervisory support). Implications for future research are discussed.
