“…The negative relationship between negative coping and active coping is consistent with previous findings (Bedel et al, 2014). Self-critical behaviors as an example of negative coping can hamper adolescents' sense of self-efficacy after a perceived difficult experience, and for this reason, self-critical adolescents can use fewer problem-oriented strategies to deal with life difficulties (Kannan & Levitt, 2013).…”

“…All survey items had four response options from 0= Not at all to 3= Almost all the time. The scale was adopted into Turkish and validated by Bedel, Isik and Hamarta (2014). In the adaptation study, the original construct was confirmed (χ2 /df = 2.1, GFI = .97, AGFI = .95, CFI = .92, RMSEA = .047) and the Cronbach's alpha values were calculated as .72, .65, and .70 for the active coping, negative coping and avoidant coping subscales, respectively.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of cognitive flexibility on the five EPOCH well-being components: engagement, perseverance, optimism, connectedness and happiness. The study also investigates the mediating roles of coping strategies (i.e., active coping strategy, avoidant coping strategy, and negative coping strategy) in this relationship. The participants consisted of 488 high school students. The data were collected through Cognitive Flexibility Scale, KIDCOPE, and EPOCH. The results showed that cognitive flexibility was a significant predictor of active coping strategy, negative coping strategy and five EPOCH well-being variables. Cognitive flexibility positively predicted active coping strategy and five components of EPOCH well-being (engagement, perseverance, optimism, connectedness and happiness) while it predicted negative coping strategy negatively. The findings showed that both active and negative coping strategies played mediating roles between cognitive flexibility and EPOCH five-dimensional well-being variables. The practical implications for teachers, limitations and further research for the researchers are presented in the study.

“…It can be stated that increasing the active coping skills of adolescents is an effective protective factor. Active coping includes strategies such as cognitive restructuring, problem solving, emotion regulation and social support (Bedel et al, 2014). According to Zhang et al (2020), while positive coping is a protective factor for anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms in adolescents; negative coping style is a risk factor for anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms.…”

“…Coping Scale for Children and Adolescents (KIDCOPE) has been developed by Spirito et al (1988) with the Turkish validity and reliability studies carried out by Bedel et al (2014). CSCA has two different forms including one for children (aged 5-13) and adolescents (aged 13-18).…”

The aim of the present study was to examine the levels of anxiety, depression and coping of adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study was carried out with 3058 students (2080 females, 978 males) who are continuing their secondary and high school educations at Şahinbey District of Gaziantep. Personal Information Form, The Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale -Child Version and Coping Scale for Children and Adolescents were used for data collection. Independent Samples t-Test and One-Way ANOVA were used for data analysis. Based on the results of the study; the ratios of adolescents with high depression, anxiety as well as depression and anxiety were 45.6%, 48.6% and 47.12% respectively in the present study. It was determined that women, adolescents at high school, those with parents having low education level, individuals with separated parents, those with increased social media use and adolescents with number of siblings greater than three have higher anxiety and depression levels. Adolescents with high levels of depression and anxiety were found to use more avoidant and negative coping strategies. It can be stated that the prevalence of mental health problems of adolescents during the epidemic process is high and that studies in the field of mental health of adolescents are needed.

“…In our study, we used a modified version of Kidcope to assesses active and disengagement coping [ 27 , 34 , 35 ]. Active coping was based on three items: “I tried to fix the COVID-19 problem by thinking of answers”, “I tried to address the COVID-19 problem by doing something or talking to someone”, and “I tried to calm myself down”.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in social isolation, grief, and loss among many adolescents. As the pandemic continues to impact individuals and communities across the globe, it is critical to address the psychological well-being of youths. More studies are needed to understand the effective ways adolescents cope with pandemic-related psychological distress. In this study, 146 students from 1 high school in a U.S. midwestern state completed an adapted version of Kidcope, a widely used coping instrument in disaster research, and measures were taken on generalized distress and COVID-19-related worries. Findings indicated that most students experienced COVID-19-related fears and general emotional distress. Additionally, we found that disengagement coping strategies were associated with lower general distress (p ≤ 0.05) and COVID-19 worries (p ≤ 0.10). Active coping was not associated with general distress and COVID-19 worries. Overall, our findings highlight the need to develop tailored interventions targeting youth coping strategies to reduce and prevent emotional distress and amplify healthy coping skills as the pandemic persists.
