Perception of SARS threat was significantly related to reports of both coping (wishful thinking and support seeking) and health behaviors (avoidant behavior, avoiding people perceived to be at risk for SARS and taking precautions). In sum, multivariate analyses controlling for differences in perceived threat of SARS, state anxiety and other ways of coping indicated that both wishful thinking and empathic responding were significantly associated with specific SARS-related health behaviors. 4 Controlling for differences in perceived threat of SARS, state anxiety and other ways of coping, support seeking was not significantly related to the SARS-related health behaviors examined in the present study.	./cache/cord-321797-2xhusfth.txt	./txt/cord-321797-2xhusfth.txt
