The article presents the results of an empirical study examining the relationship between coping strategies and hardiness in women with different statuses of experiencing domestic violence. Statistically significant differences were identified in coping behavior and levels of hardiness among women currently experiencing violence, those who maintained relationships after the violence had ceased, and those who terminated their relationships with their partners. Correlational relationships were established between the violence index, coping strategies, and components of hardiness. The findings demonstrate that violence contributes to the development of avoidance-oriented coping patterns and the depletion of personal resources.
