Data were collected from a sample of 808 undergraduate students at a Spanish University. Participants completed the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI) for the measurement of coping strategies and the Work Engagement Student Scale (UWES-SS) for the measurement of academic engagement. Academic performance was evaluated by the grade point average. Results showed that adaptive coping, academic engagement dimensions and academic performance were positively related. Maladaptive coping was negatively related to performance, but there were no significant correlations between maladaptive coping and any academic engagement dimension. Mediation analysis showed that engagement dimensions mediated the relationship between adaptive coping and performance. Adaptive coping increased academic vigor, dedication and absorption and these dimensions improved performance in turn.
