The primary goal of the present study was to investigate the mediational function of situational coping in the causal relationship between hostility and health status. In addition, the factorial validity and reliability of the situational version of the General Coping Questionnaire (GCQ) were tested. The dispositional version of GCQ has been standardized by Sasaki and Yamasaki (2002). The Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, the General Health Questionnaire, and the GCQ were administered to 454 university students. The results indicated the factorial validity, internal consistency, as well as the normal distribution of scores in the situational version of the GCQ. Furthermore, a positive causal relationship between hostility and situational emotion expression, as well as a negative relationship between hostility and situational cognitive reinterpretation and problem solving were demonstrated. Moreover, the detrimental influence of hostility on health was confirmed. The results also suggest that there are certain positive causal relationships between situational coping and ill health, although situational coping did not improve ill health. Differences between the findings of previous and current study are discussed.
