“…However, a few stress that the effectiveness of a coping style is situation-dependent (see, e.g., Griffith et al, 2000;Skodol, 1998;Suls & Fletcher, 1985) rather than continuous, and point out that there are times when focusing on oneÕs emotional needs is more productive than attempting to change an unalterable situation. Beardslee (1989; underlines the importance of self-understanding and of having a coherent family narrative through which to make sense of the stress of having an affectively ill parent.…”

“…The literature on coping usually defines two primary categories of coping: active coping and avoidant coping (see, e.g., Griffith, Dubow, & Ippolito, 2000;Suls & Fletcher, 1985). Similar conceptualizations with some variation include problem-solving versus emotion-focused coping (Mullis & Chapman, 2000;Skodol, 1998), monitoring versus blunting (Bar-Tal & Spitzer, 1999) and engaged versus disengaged coping (Chang, 2000).…”

Emerging adulthood is a time of great possibility and of considerable risk. This qualitative study explored the adaptation and coping strategies used over time by twenty-five emerging adults. Respondents were selected from a longitudinal community study cohort of 26-year-olds and had experienced adversity in early life. Participants mentioned using a variety of strategies, such as active evasion, seeking support, and ''letting go,'' in order to cope with difficulties. These strategies varied by context and according to respondentsÕ developmental level at the time of the adversity. Flexibility in understanding life circumstances and in choosing coping strategies to deal with specific adversities was noted as beneficial through childhood, adolescence, and emerging adulthood.

“…Some youth are better able to respond to stressors and minimize their negative impact. Children's responses to stressors, however, depend on a myriad of factors specific to the individual, the situation, and the stressor (Compas et al 1988(Compas et al , 2001Eisenberg et al 1997;Griffith et al 2000;Lazarus 1999;Lazarus and Folkman 1984;Reid et al 1995). Thus, there is a need to determine the factors that influence children's responses to specific stressors to guide intervention efforts.…”

Factors that Influence Children’s Responses to Peer Victimization

Children's responses to peer victimization are associated with whether the victimization continues, and its impact on adjustment. Yet little longitudinal research has examined the factors influencing children's responses to peer victimization. In a sample of 140 late elementary school children (n = 140, Mean age = 10 years, 2 months, 55% female, 60% Caucasian), the role of social, emotional, and cognitive factors on children's responses to peer victimization over time were examined. Broadly, children's emotional reactivity and peer victimization experiences predicted changes in the ways participants thought about peer victimization over time, and children's sense of control, attitudes toward the use of aggression, and problem solving predicted changes in participants' coping responses over the course of the school year.

“…Taylor and Aspinwall intended the model to be applicable to a general population, and therefore included a large, somewhat arbitrary selection of external resources. Because factors like sex, age, and family situation, reflecting social roles and environmental demands, are claimed to influence the kind of stressor [9], appraisal of the event [10,11], and preferred coping styles [12,13], they were included as external resources. Because the present study focused on a population of working age (21-50 years), following Michielsen et al [8], we added employment, sick leave and educational level as additional external resources.…”

Predictors of quality of life: A model based study

et al. 2006

In this study, predictors of quality of life (QOL) in psychiatric outpatients (n = 410) were investigated using the psychological stress model developed by Taylor and Aspinwall (Psychosocial Stress. Perspective on Structures, Theory, Life-Course and Methods. San Diego, CA: Academic Press, 1996; pp. 71-110). External resources, personal resources, stressors, appraisal of stressors, social support, coping, and QOL were assessed with several questionnaires. The complete original Taylor and Aspinwall model was tested with SEM analyses. These analyses were not able to explain the data adequately. Therefore, initially a more exploratory data analytic strategy was followed using a series of multiple regression analyses. These analyses only partially supported the Taylor and Aspinwall model. In fact, QOL was not predicted by coping, while all other antecedents affected QOL directly, explaining considerable amounts of QOL variance. As a next step, taking the outcomes of the regression analyses as point of departure, new SEM analyses were carried out, testing a modified model. This model, without coping, had an excellent fit. Consequently, modifications of the model are recommended concerning psychiatric outpatients when QOL is the psychosocial outcome measure.
