The author utilized a survey adapted from the MBSS to evaluate how coping styles may influence online
students’ tendencies to collaborate. The coping style is an individual’s tendency, under stress, to either
monitor or blunt external information tasks (Miller, 1987; Baker, 2006). MBSS contains four questions. Each
question has eight statements reflecting either monitoring (seekering) or bluntering (avoidering) behaviors.
Participants choose the statements that apply to themselves. For example, under such a scenario - “vividly
imagine that you are on an airplane, thirty minutes from your destination, when the plane unexpectedly goes
into a deep dive and then suddenly levels off”, a monitor may “listen carefully to the engines for unusual
noises and watch the crew to see if their behavior is out of the ordinary”, while a blunter may “settle down
and read a book or magazine or write a letter”.
