The present study aimed to establish the relationship between ways of coping with stress and psychological well-being. A sample of 934 university students from Lima and Huancayo, 16 to 22 years old, was used. Two were the instruments applied: the COPE Inventory (Carver, Scheir y Weintraub, 1989), about coping with stress strategies, adapted to peruvian context. And the Scales of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB), by Carol Ryff (1989), adapted to Peruvian context by Leal and Silva (2010). The results showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between problem-focused and emotion- focused coping with stress strategies and psychological well-being, while other coping strategies obtained a significant but indirect relationship.

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo establecer la relación entre los modos de afrontamiento al estrés y el bienestar psicológico. Se evaluó a 934 estudiantes universitarios de Lima y Huancayo, con edades entre 16 y 25 años, a quienes se les aplicó la Escala de Modos de Afrontamiento al Estrés (COPE) diseñado por Carver, Scheir y Weintraub (1989) adaptado al contexto peruano y la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico (SPWB), propuesta por Carol Ryff (1989), adaptada al contexto peruano. Los resultados mostraron que existe una relación directa y significativa entre el modo de afrontamiento al estrés centrado en el problema y la emoción con el bienestar psicológico, mientras que otros estilos de afrontamiento guardan una relación significativa, pero indirecta.
