Some studies have shown that the former correlate positively, while the latter correlate negatively with psychological well-being. The initiation of coping strategies seems to co-occur with the experience of uncertainty, which is typically accompanied by an inner dialogue. Different types of inner dialogues are related to well-being in different ways. This study aims to test whether identity and ruminative inner dialogues mediate the relationship between coping strategies and well-being.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Participants and procedure<\/jats:title><jats:p>Convenience sampling was used. The study was conducted through an online survey. Participants were 337 young adults (181 women and 156 men) aged 20-35 years. They completed the Brief-COPE Inventory, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Internal Dialogical Activity Scale-Revised.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>It was found that ruminative inner dialogues mediate negative relationships between maladaptive coping strategies and well-being. Identity inner dialogues are mediators of positive relationships between adaptive coping strategies and well-being, with the exception of humor and using emotional support.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings can be used by mental health professionals in counseling and therapy. To enhance clients\u2019 well-being, it is essential to strengthen their identity internal dialogues (associated with adaptive coping) and reduce their ruminative internal dialogues (associated with maladaptive strategies).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5114\/cipp\/204035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,24]],"date-time":"2025-06-24T10:56:12Z","timestamp":1750762572000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Coping strategies and well-being among young Polish adults: the mediating role of inner dialogues"],"prefix":"10.5114","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4295-8308","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Puchalska-Wasyl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1462894","unstructured":"Aldwin, C.
