“…Despite the multidimensional nature of adolescent coping (Ohannessian et al, 2010; Skinner & Zimmer-Gembeck, 2007), prior research has focused on risk associated with the use of individual strategies, including approach strategies (e.g., social support; Cicognani, 2011) and avoidant strategies (e.g., behavioral disengagement; Horwitz et al, 2011). Rather than studying a single type of coping, the current study identified patterns of coping across nine different strategies.…”

“…Previous research on the COPE inventory with adolescents has focused on examining associations between psychosocial problems and the use of individual coping strategies (e.g., Horwitz, Hill, & King, 2011). One exception is a study that used cluster analysis of the COPE to identify adolescent coping typologies associated with risk for adult substance use and abuse (Ohannessian, Bradley, Waninger, Ruddy, Hepp, & Hesselbrock, 2010). The Ohannesian et al study demonstrated that adolescents use multiple coping strategies when confronted with a problem.…”

The purpose of the study was to identify groups of adolescents based on their reported use of different coping strategies and compare levels of depression and anxiety symptoms across the groups. Tenth and eleventh grade public school students (N = 982; 51% girls; 66% Caucasian; M age =16.04, SD = .73) completed a battery of self-report measures that assessed their use of different coping strategies, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms. Latent profile analysis (LPA) classified the participants into four distinct groups based on their responses on subscales of the COPE inventory (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989). Groups differed in amount of coping with participants in each group showing relative preference for engaging in certain strategies over others. Disengaged copers reported the lowest amounts of coping with a preference for avoidance strategies. Independent copers reported moderate levels of coping with relatively less use of support-seeking. Social support-seeking copers and active copers reported the highest levels of coping with a particular preference for support-seeking strategies. The independent copers reported the lowest levels of depressive symptoms compared to the three other groups. The Social Support Seeking and Active Coping Groups reported the highest levels of anxiety. Although distinct coping profiles were observed, findings showed that adolescents between the ages of 14 and 16 engage in multiple coping strategies and are more likely to vary in their amount of coping than in their use of specific strategies.

“…The increase in drug use toward the end of adolescence culminating at age 18 in a similar level of use to that of the adolescent-limited group could represent use that is more normative and motivated by different factors than the early-adolescent use, such as a strategy for coping with stressors or socializing with peers (e.g. Luthar & D'Avanzo, 1999; Mohr et al, 2001; Ohannessian et al, 2010). We cannot rule out that this finding is idiocyncratic to this sample or is due to issues regarding missing data.…”

This study examined interdependent trajectories of sexual risk, substance use, and conduct problems among 12–18 year-old African American youth who were followed annually as part of the Mobile Youth Study (MYS). We used growth-mixture modeling (GMM) to model the development of these three outcomes in the 1406 participants who met the inclusion criteria. Results indicate that there were four distinct classes: normative low risk (74.3% of sample); increasing high risk takers (11.9%); adolescent-limited conduct problems and drug risk with high risky sex (8.0%); and early experimenters (5.8%) The higher risk classes had higher rates of pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) diagnoses than the normative sample at each of the ages we examined. Differing somewhat from our hypothesis, all of the non-normative classes exhibited high sexual risk behavior. While prevention efforts should be focused on addressing all three risk behaviors, the high rate of risky sexual behavior in the 25% of the sample that fall into the three non-normative classes, underscores an urgent need for improved sex education, including teen pregnancy and HIV/STI prevention, in this community.

“…Active-approach coping involves engaging a stressor event (e.g., problem solving) and has been linked to more desirable adjustment (DeCarlo, Santiago & Wadsworth, 2009; Rogers & Holmbeck, 1997). A second approach, namely disengaging from a stressor event (e.g., denying, avoiding), has been linked to more risky outcomes (Ohannessian, Bradley, Waninger, Ruddy, Hepp, & Hesselbrock, 2010; Wadsworth, Raviv, Compas, & Connor-Smith, 2005). …”

Adolescents may seek to understand family conflict by seeking out confidants. However, little is known about whom adolescents seek, whether and how such support helps youth, and the factors that predict which sources are sought. This chapter offers a conceptual model of guided cognitive reframing that emphasizes the behavioral, cognitive, and affective implications of confidant support as well as individual, family, and cultural factors linked to support seeking. We present empirical data from 392 families of 7th graders of Mexican and European ancestry to predict whether adolescents seek mothers, co-resident fathers, and other sources and provide directions for subsequent research.
