The aim of the study was to examine ways in which people with multiple sclerosis cope with their illness, and to determine whether the coping strategies used were effective or ineffective in terms of the relations between the scales that were used. Sex differences on each of the scales were also examined. Results indicated that there were some sex differences on the locus of control scale. However, no sex differences were found on the focus of coping, or on the depression and hopelessness scales. Rather, both sexes were found to have mean depression and hopelessness scores above what is considered to be the norm for both of these scales.
