Unique and comprehensive, this volume integrates the most updated
theory and research relating to adolescent coping and its
determinants. This book is the result of the author's long interest
in, and study of, stress, coping, and relationships in adolescence.
It begins with an overview of research conducted during the past
three decades and contrasts research trends in adolescent coping in
the United States and Europe over time. Grounded on a developmental
model for adolescent coping, the conceptual issues and major
questions are outlined. Supporting research ties together the types
of stressors, the ways of coping with normative and non-normative
stressors, and the function that close relationships fulfill in
this context.
More than 3,000 adolescents from different countries participated
in seven studies that are built programmatically on one another and
focus on properties that make events stressful, on coping processes
and coping styles, on internal and social resources, and on
stress-buffering and adaptation. A variety of assessment procedures
for measuring stress and coping are presented, including
semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and content analysis.
This multimethod-multivariate approach is characterized by
assessing the same construct via different methods, replicating the
measures in different studies including cross-cultural samples,
using several informants, and combining standardized instruments
with very open data gathering.
The results offer a rich picture of the nature of stressors
requiring adolescent coping and highlight the importance of
relationship stressors. Age and gender differences in stress
appraisal and coping style are also presented. Mid-adolescence
emerges as a turning point in the use of certain coping strategies
and social resources. Strong gender differences in stress appraisal
and coping style suggest that females are more at risk for
developing psychopathology. The book demonstrates how adolescents
make use of assistance provided by social support systems and
points to the changing influence of parents and peers. It addresses
controversial issues such as benefits and costs of close
relationships or the beneficial or maladaptive effects of avoidant
coping. Its clear style, innovative ideas, and instruments make it
an excellent textbook for both introductory and advanced courses.
Without question, it may serve as a guide for future research in
this field.
This book will be of value to researchers, practitioners, and
students in various fields such as child clinical and developmental
psychology and psychopathology.
