Feedback loop: progressive deterioration of access to coping resources because of repeated insolvability of stressors. This feedback loop underlies the progressive deterioration of access to coping resources because of the repeated insolvability of stressors. Exposure to adverse socioeconomic conditions is associated with being repeatedly confronted with insolvable stressors. If problem approaching is evoked when a stressor is insolvable, this can undermine access to coping resources. Undermined access to coping resources can in turn evoke problem avoidance, which can progressively deteriorate coping resources if stressors are solvable
