“…The adopted methodology was crucial in obtaining this information, 441 contributing in this way to the full exploration of gender differences in coping. Thinking aloud 442 whilst executing a motor task allows the exploration of the stimuli that participants appraise as 443 being stressful in a controlled encounter during real time as opposed to a retrospective recall of a 444 single stressful event (e.g., Hoar et al, 2010). The results of the present study provide some support 445 for the notion that differences in stress appraisals cause male and female participants to deploy be achieved using a combination of methodologies and research designs.…”

36Gender differences in coping in sport have received increased attention but cross-sectional and 37 retrospective designs of studies have provided equivocal results and limited conclusions in the area. 38To address this gap two studies were conducted investigating stress, appraisal and coping in males 39 and females when executing a golf putting task. The two studies were conducted under controlled 40 laboratory settings including a control and an experimental condition. Participants performed the 41 same golf putting task in both conditions. In the experimental condition stress was induced using a 42 combination of evaluation apprehension, funny putter, monetary inducement (study one) and, ego-43 threatening feedback (study two). Stress appraisal (type of stressor and its frequency) and coping 44(strategies used and their frequency) were assessed online using the think aloud protocol. Stress 45 responses were assessed using self-report, physiological, and behavioral measures. Both studies 46 found similar stress responses for males and females (e.g., increased heart rate, task completion 47 time, and cognitive state anxiety) in the experimental condition. However, significant gender 48 differences were found in relation to the frequency of stressors cited and coping strategies used for 49 these particular stressors. Across both studies, females reported being more often concerned with 50 task execution and males with the outcome. Differences in coping strategies observed between the 51 genders were likely to be a consequence of different stress appraisals, in particular the frequency of 52 particular stressors appraised. Findings provide tentative support for the situational hypothesis as 53 males and females have a tendency to use similar coping strategies if they appraise the same 54 stressors within the same situation. 55 56

Aim: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation including automated external defibrillator use increases the chance of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, bystanders may be distressed by witnessing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and may hesitate to initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The present study examined factors associated with layperson confidence in carrying out resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. Methods:We carried out a cross-sectional survey in February 2012. Laypeople were asked about background characteristics, whether they had performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation training, were aware of the location of the neighborhood automated external defibrillator, and felt confident in performing resuscitation, and their potential emotional distress if a resuscitation attempt were to prove unsuccessful.Results: Participants comprised 4,853 respondents. Of these, 2,372 (49%) had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation training, and 3,607 (74%) knew where the neighborhood automated external defibrillator was located. Confidence in performing chest compressions was reported by 2,667 (55%), confidence in performing rescue breathing by 2,498 (52%), and confidence in using an automated external defibrillator by 2,822 (58%). Potential emotional distress if a resuscitation attempt proved unsuccessful was reported by 4,247 (88%). Multivariate regression analysis showed that having carried out cardiopulmonary resuscitation, having received cardiopulmonary resuscitation training, and awareness of the neighborhood automated external defibrillator location were significantly associated with confidence in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Conclusions:Our results suggest that more extensive cardiopulmonary resuscitation training and information regarding neighborhood automated external defibrillator locations may increase layperson confidence in initiating resuscitation.

“…One of the most consistent findings is that female adolescents exhibit more social support seeking than males, including seeking help from both family and friends (Altermatt 2007;Ebata and Moos 1994;Eschenbeck et al 2007;Fernando 2008;Hoar et al 2010;Patterson and McCubbin 1987). Female youth also appear to exhibit higher levels of problem-solving and self-reliance (Eschenbeck et al 2007;MacCann et al 2012;Pascual et al 2012;Patterson and McCubbin 1987), although this difference is not statistically significant in some studies (Fernando 2008;Kochenderfer-Ladd and Skinner 2002).…”

“…Similar inconsistent findings exist for coping behaviors that involve negative emotions. Some evidence suggests that female youth have higher levels of internalizing (Altermatt 2007;Pascual et al 2012) and that male youth show more externalizing (Hoar et al 2010;Kochenderfer-Ladd and Skinner 2002), but others indicate no significant gender differences in these coping behaviors (Eschenbeck et al 2007;Fernando 2008). Finally, males exhibit more distancing and avoidance as a coping response in some studies (Eschenbeck et al 2007;MacCann et al 2012), while other evidence indicates approximately equal levels of distancing for male and female youth (Fernando 2008;Kochenderfer-Ladd and Skinner 2002;Pascual et al 2012;Patterson and McCubbin 1987).…”

This exploratory study examined the relations between approach and avoidance coping behaviors and general life satisfaction in a sample of 248 Hindu adolescents from an urban area in India. The major findings were threefold. First, gender differences were observed, with females reporting more frequent use of the strategies of seeking social support, direct problem solving, and internalizing behaviors. Second, using multiple regression analyses, the coping behaviors of problem solving and externalizing behaviors accounted for significant, unique variance in life satisfaction scores. Third, gender did not moderate the relations between any of the coping behaviors and life satisfaction. Possible implications for health promotion are discussed.
