Summary/Abstract: On a sample of 147 examinees, the changes in coping strategies and positive and negative moods during the specific stressful situation of the final high-school graduation exam were analysed, as well as the bidirectional and prospective relations between coping strategies and positive and negative moods. Coping strategies and moods were measured three times during the stressful situation: the period prior to taking the exam, during the written graduation exam and the period following the exam up to the moment the results of the written exam were announced. The results obtained indicate that significant changes occurred during this time in using the problem-aimed coping strategy and avoidance strategy, while emotionally-aimed coping did not change during the stressful transaction. Problem-aimed coping is highest in the period during the written exam, while in this phase, coping through avoidance is the lowest.
