Abstract

= 192]), we triangulate tests of our hypotheses and find support for our arguments. We discuss implications for transactional stress theory and illustrate how scholars can expand their conceptualization of coping to consider its potential toxicity. We further call attention to the critical societal and public policy implications of our findings, and we provide a roadmap with clear and actionable solutions.
