Answer: This is an example of problem-focused behavior coping.

Explanation: When a problem arises in day-to-day life, irrespective of at work or at home, the behavior tends to change and may bring prolonged sadness. To cope up with this behavior knowing full well that it may cause loss, the problem, not the feelings, needs to be focused in order to find out solid solutions to it. This approach is thus called a problem-focused behavior coping approach.
