The present study examined the impact of coping strategy training on depression, anxiety, predisposition to cancer and coronary heart diseases. Eighty participants working in organizations were randomly assigned into two groups. Experimental group took part in a four- session training course to learn how to cope with daily job stresses. Participants in both groups were assessed with BDI, BAI, and Grossart- Matisc Questionnaire, before and after the course. Depression level in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group; the other scales did not appear significant. The differences and the similarities of the present findings with previous findings are discussed.
