Since the stress and coping are the most reported problems by adolescents, this study aims to apprise the stressors, coping strategies and influential factors among male adolescents.
The effect of stressors, coping strategies and some demographics variables were studied in 402 male adolescents in Tehran, Iran. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. A multiple regression was performed to assess factors related to perceived stress.
The mean age of adolescents was 15.44 (SD=0.68) years. The mean value of perceived stress for the whole sample was 17.99 (SD=6.02). Cognitive/emotional coping was the most frequent coping style. The findings revealed that there was a significant correlation between perceived and accumulative stress. In multiple regression analysis, the accumulative stress, social resources, parent`s education and grade point average were found to be significant predictors of perceived stress.
The findings suggest that increased level of perceived stress is associated with accumulative stress, social resources and parent`s education that are modifiable factors. Stress management education might be a solution to overcome increased perceived stress.
由于压力和应对方式是青少年报告最多的问题,本研究旨在了解男性青少年的压力源、应对策略及影响因素。
对伊朗德黑兰的402名男性青少年的压力源、应对策略及一些人口统计学变量的影响进行了研究。采用自填式问卷收集数据。进行多元回归以评估与感知压力相关的因素。
青少年的平均年龄为15.44岁(标准差=0.68)。整个样本的感知压力平均值为17.99(标准差=6.02)。认知/情绪应对是最常见的应对方式。研究结果显示,感知压力与累积压力之间存在显著相关性。在多元回归分析中,累积压力、社会资源、父母教育程度和平均绩点被发现是感知压力的重要预测因素。
研究结果表明,感知压力水平的升高与累积压力、社会资源和父母教育程度相关,而这些都是可改变的因素。压力管理教育可能是克服感知压力增加的一种解决方案。
