Abstract

The purpose of this study were to develop the Japanese version of the Responses to Stress Questionnaire （Connor-Smith et al. 2））in order to study stress in Japanese university students, and examine the association between stressor in daily life, voluntary/involuntary responses to stress, and mental health. The results of the factor analysis of Japanese version RSQ showed the following factors; 2 factors （help-seeking, problem solving） in the primary control engagement coping, 3 factors （positive thinking, acceptance, distraction） in the secondary control engagement coping, 3 factors （avoidance, denial, wishful thinking） in the disengagement coping, 3 factors （rumination/emotional arousal, involuntary action, physiological arousal） in the involuntary engagement, and 4 factors （inaction, cognitive interference, emotional numbing, escape） in the involuntary disengagement. The results of the hierarchical multiple regression analyses suggested that rumination/emotional arousal, physiological arousal and emotional numbing in the involuntary engagement, in addition to the stressor in daily life, were significant predictors of general mental health status.
