| Description | The goal of the study was to find out which strategies are used by adolescents in coping with difficulties in various areas of life. The research sample consisted of 563 adolescents at the age of 11-21 years. It was shown that there are universal coping strategies which adolescents preferably use in all problem situations, although the measure in which they use them changes a little in dependence on a concrete situation. Presently there are also other coping strategies which adolescents frequently use only in some problem areas, while in other areas they use them only rarely. Factor analysis determined the following three coping styles: active coping, avoidance, and helplessness. Active coping is used by adolescents substantially most frequently. The influence of sex, age, ang school achievement was confirmed only in some coping strategies and styles. |
