coping, mechanisms of defence, emotional intelligenceAbstract
In this article we compare the main coping strategies with the defence mechanisms and we revise the research studies that focus on its effects and functionality. We also examine its association with indicators of Emotional Intelligence (EI), as well as with some personality traits. The reader will be given a view of the normal nature of many coping responses, correcting the idealistic bias in the conception of mature defence mechanisms of defence; in the same way most people in a normal population present clinical symptoms, defence mechanisms are widespread and predominant. In the last section, we present the items of the most relevant self-report scale that measures mechanisms of defence, the DSQ-40
