<unk>  is a psychological construct that involves the use of<unk>  processing and<unk>  expression in response to a stressful situation. As opposed to<unk>  avoidance, in which emotions are experienced as a negative, undesired reaction to a stressful situation,<unk>  involves the conscious use of<unk>  expression and processing to better deal with a stressful situation. The construct was developed to explain an inconsistency in the stress and<unk>  literature: emotion-focused<unk>  was associated with largely maladaptive outcomes while<unk>  processing and expression was demonstrated to be beneficial.
