The purpose of this study was to examine whether listing of self-coping and sharing those coping with others would change psychological stress reactions and self-confidence in dealing with stressful situations, and to classify coping among university students. The participants were 17 university students. They created and shared their own coping list. One-way analysis of variance found that negative emotions were alleviated immediately after listing copings and sharing the list, and calmness improved throughout the session. It is assumed that the reasons are to facilitate the comprehension of their own coping through self-monitoring, and to prevent them from occurring to negative thoughts through distraction activities. On the other hand, there were no significant differences in positive emotions, stress buffering, or anger control. That results suggest that setting of the number of coping and resistance to self-disclosure have the negative effect. In addition, regarding the classification of coping gathered by this study, 10 categories were classified: Interacting activities, Consuming activities, Physical activities, Intellectual activities, Visual activities, Auditory activities, “favorites” activities, Relaxing activities, Problem-focused activities, and Self-directed activities.
