Abstract
This study examined the role of coping resources – self-efficacy (problem-focused) and emotion regulation (emotion-focused) – in supporting mental health and social functioning among refugees in a transit setting in Indonesia. Using a latent profile analysis approach with 1,214 participants, three distinct coping profiles were identified: high coping resources, high emotion-focused coping resource, and low coping resources. Results showed that high coping resources were associated with better mental health and social functioning outcomes. Emotion-focused coping resources were more strongly associated with better mental health, while problem-focused coping resources were closely linked to social functioning. This study highlighted the importance of coping flexibility and offers practical implications for strength-based interventions in transit displacement settings.
