The study examined the personal resources, Self-efficacy and Coping Strategies, in a sample of pre-adolescents who experienced an emotionally and socially critical event, such as the earthquake of the 6(th) of April 2009, related to age and gender.
198 pre-adolescents, 84 girls and 114 boys (Age Mean 12 years), attending Secondary School in L'Aquila meso-seismic area. The emotional, behavioural and social capacities have been assessed with specific questionnaires administered collectively ten months after the earthquake.
Multidimensional analyses produced differentiated profiles according to gender and age: self-efficacy-perception and coping strategy profiles, based on quartiles calculations, revealed the difficulties of the subjects in estimating their ability to cope with the world of relations and emotions after the critical event.
The intervention could be specific to the cognitive, emotional and relational state of children and adolescents and differentiated before (prevention), during (intervention) and after the event (intervention and prevention).
本研究考察了经历情感和社会危机事件（如 2009 年 4 月 6 日与年龄和性别相关的地震）的青少年样本中的个人资源、自我效能感和应对策略。
198 名青少年，84 名女生和 114 名男生（年龄均值为 12 岁），就读于拉奎拉中震区的中学。在地震发生 10 个月后，通过集体施测特定问卷评估了他们的情绪、行为和社交能力。
多维分析根据性别和年龄产生了不同的特征：基于四分位计算的自我效能感感知和应对策略特征表明，在经历危机事件后，青少年在估计自己应对人际关系和情感世界的能力方面存在困难。
干预措施可以针对儿童和青少年的认知、情感和关系状态进行定制，并在事件发生前（预防）、期间（干预）和之后（干预和预防）进行区分。
