Hypothesis 5b predicted there would be a significant, positive correlation between
Coping (The Brief Cope Emotion-Focused Scale) and depression (BDI-II). The Bivariate
comparisons measured how dimensions from the Brief Cope Emotion Focused scale and
the BDI-II are related. Results of the correlational analysis found a significantly positive
relationship exists between emotion focused coping style and depression scores among
CABG patients (Table 11).
