Abstract Ample evidence has documented the importance of coping self‐efficacy (CSE) in predicting psychological adaptation following adversity. Prior research shown that greater exposure to negative consequences associated with major collective traumas diminishes perceived ability cope. However, impact stressors on future CSE projections remains unknown. This longitudinal study examined individuals' self‐appraisals their capabilities adversities (future [FUTURE‐CSE]) a sample adult Poles ( N = 1245). Participants were interviewed three times from July 2021 August 2022, during later stages COVID‐19 pandemic. hardships, operationalized as pandemic‐related and extent direct virus exposure, resulted confidence manage effectively. These effects observed while controlling for sociodemographic factors, distress symptoms, prior levels pandemic‐specific CSE. Additionally, FUTURE‐CSE beliefs lower concurrently assessed symptoms distress. protective function remained statistically significant even after distress, CSE, other life challenges, additional measures thriving adversity expectations. Many familiar maxims, such “what doesn't kill me makes stronger,” suggest painful conflicting dynamics accepting learning past can enhance resilience preparedness challenges. The results this provide empirical support these notions.
