q1 · i? · causal · r1

Authors' theoretical interpretation (type e) in the discussion, citing Bowth & Jernberg (2010); no data test this mechanism. The "sense of being accepted in the group" is offered as an explanatory account.

"In fact, sense of being accepted in the group and stress management entails using a wide range of confrontation strategies such as emotion regulation, constructive thinking, action control, and environmental behavior in order to reduce the stresses."
