This study investigated: (a) the types of coping strategies adolescents commonly employ in response to family relocation overseas; and (b) whether sex, age, self-concept, behavioral adjustment, and previous history of moves affect the types of strategies used by these sojourners. For this purpose, we selected a widely used model of coping which distinguishes between approach and avoidance strategies and a sample of teenagers whose families had recently relocated in Belgium. Four assessment instruments were utilized: the Background Information Data Sheet, the Stress Response Scale, the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale, and the Coping Responses Inventory--Youth Form. Results indicated that adolescent sojourners selected both approach and avoidance strategies to cope with family relocation overseas. Correlational analyses further showed that females and older teenagers tended to rely significantly more on approach strategies than on avoidance strategies. Self-concept and behavioral adjustment were also found to be related to the type coping strategies employed, while the history of previous relocation was not.
(a)青少年在应对家庭海外搬迁时常用的应对策略类型；以及(b)性别、年龄、自我概念、行为调适和以往的搬家经历是否会影响这些旅居者所采用的策略类型。为此，我们选择了一个广泛使用的应对模型，该模型区分了积极应对和消极应对策略，并选取了一些家庭最近搬到比利时的青少年作为样本。使用了四种评估工具：背景信息数据表、应激反应量表、皮尔斯-哈里斯儿童自我概念量表和应对反应量表——青少年版。结果表明，青少年旅居者选择了积极应对和消极应对策略来应对家庭海外搬迁。相关分析进一步表明，女性和年龄较大的青少年明显更倾向于依赖积极应对策略而非消极应对策略。研究还发现，自我概念和行为调适与所采用的应对策略类型有关，而以往的搬迁经历则无关。
