This study investigated problems commonly experienced by adolescents and the strategies they use to cope with these events. Coping strategies were examined across the subjects' emotional state and their evaluation of the problem. In general, adolescents reported four common stressors that were similar across age groups and gender. However, males differed from females in the frequency of these problems. Further, while the stressors were similar, the frequency with which the coping strategies were employed and the efficacy ascribed to them differed across sex and across problem type. These findings are discussed in terms of the stress and coping literature with adults and the implications for clinical assessment and treatment of adolescents.
本研究调查了青少年普遍经历的问题以及他们用来应对这些事件的策略。研究考察了应对策略与受试者情绪状态及其对问题的评估之间的关系。总体而言，青少年报告了四种常见的压力源，这些压力源在不同年龄组和性别中相似。然而，男性和女性在这些问题的发生频率上存在差异。此外，虽然压力源相似，但应对策略的使用频率以及归因于它们的效果在性别和问题类型上存在差异。本文根据针对成年人的压力与应对文献对这些发现进行了讨论，并探讨了其对青少年临床评估和治疗的意义。
