The results indicate that there is a high correlation between rational thinking and methods of dealing with life stressors. The results also indicate that there are statistically significant differences in the measure of rational thinking according to the variables of (age, level of education, years of experience and marital status) and the absence of statistically significant differences in the measure of rational thinking according to the variable of (place of residence). there are no statistically significant differences in the measure of methods of dealing with life stressors according to the variable of (age, place of residence and marital status). The results also show statistically significant differences in the measure of methods dealing with life stressors according to variables of ( level of education and years of experience). No statistically significant differences are noticed in the methods of dealing with life stressors according to the variables of ( age, place of residence and social status) In light of this study, the researcher recommends the need for mentors to provide guidance and supervision to workers in sewing workshops, to help them overcome the problems and stressors they face.
