This research aims to clarify the following two points based on a questionnaire survey in the context of failure in important academic tests. 1) The effects of achievement-related affections evoked at the time of failure on the subsequent coping behavior, and 2) the effects of daily social support on coping behavior, focusing on individual differences in gender and negative rumination traits. A total of 283 university students responded to the online survey. The affection of incompetence had a positive main effect on problem-avoiding coping behavior in men and a negative main effect on problem-solving coping behavior in women. Further, the affection of anticipation of punishment showed a positive main effect on both coping behaviors only in women. The evaluative support showed a negative main effect on problem-avoidance coping behavior in women. Furthermore, an interaction effect between negative rumination traits and social support was confirmed in men's problem-solving coping behavior. These findings indicate that the effect of social support on coping behavior differs depending on gender and negative rumination traits.
