Abstract
This study aimed to identify the relationship between family climate and methods of coping with psychological stress among
female students at Al-Balqa Applied University, Jordan, and their relationship to the variable of specialisation. The study was
conducted on a sample consisting of 300 female university students at Al-Balqa Applied University. They were randomly
selected, and the study used a survey method for data collection. After statistically analysing the collected data, it was
observed that there is a positive statistically significant correlation between family climate and the methods of coping with
psychological stress in addition to having statistically significant differences in the mean scores of methods of coping with
psychological stress among female students in the study sample according to specialisation (scientific or humanistic), in favour
of scientific specialisation. Accordingly, the study recommended working to spread the concept of a healthy family climate
among parents within the family.
