“…This is consistent with evidence regarding support 'erosion' for depression in adolescents (e.g., Stice et al 2004) with the present study showing that this may also be the case in middle childhood. In contrast, the fact that socially anxious children seek more social support points to a higher dependence on others for resolving problems as has been proposed previously (see Deisinger et al 1996;Rubin et al 1984). With reference to the tripartite model, it seems plausible that the higher arousal experienced by socially anxious children-and the questioning cognition about harm and danger (Ingram et al 2001)-could drive them to seek social support as a response to problematic peer interactions, whereas the low social motivation and positivity experienced by depressed children may mean they are likely to seek less social support.…”

“…There is emerging evidence to suggest that depression is associated with lower perceived social support in adolescents (e.g., Stice et al 2004). In contrast, Deisinger et al (1996) have observed that anxious participants are more likely to cope through seeking social support than others, and Rubin et al (1984) showed that socially withdrawn preschoolers favour adultdependent solutions for coping with peer conflict, possibly because of greater parental overprotectiveness (see Rapee and Spence 2004).Second, differentiation between social anxiety and depression can be expected with respect to externalising but not to internalising coping. Regarding the latter, a ruminative response style is widely seen as a hallmark of depressive disorders in both adults and adolescents (see Nolen-Hoeksema et al 2007), but rumination, self-blaming, and catastrophising have been associated with social anxiety and fears as well (Garnefski et al 2006;Vassilopoulos and Banerjee 2008).…”

Strategies that children use for coping with stressors are known to be related to emotional adjustment, but not enough is understood about specific links with social anxiety and depression. The present investigation tested differentiated associations of social anxiety and depression with specific types of coping strategies, and evaluated the direction of these associations over time. In Study 1, 404 children aged 8-13 years completed a coping scale modified from Kochendefer-Ladd and Skinner (Developmental Psychology 38:267-278, 2002) in order to evaluate factor structure and subscale internal consistency. In Study 2, 270 8-11-year-old children completed depression and social anxiety scales, a sociometric survey, and the coping scale from Study 1, with a follow-up timepoint 9 months later. In Study 1, factor analysis revealed six internally consistent coping subscales. In Study 2, social anxiety and depression were found to have distinctive longitudinal associations with subsequent coping strategies. Decreased problem-solving, social support-seeking, and distraction were uniquely predicted by depression but not by social anxiety. Internalising coping was a stronger outcome of social anxiety, and increased externalising was uniquely predicted by depression. There was also some evidence for a moderating role of peer relations. However, none of the coping strategies predicted changes in depression or social anxiety over the two timepoints. These results highlight the impact that emotional adjustment may have on children's coping strategies, and clarify important distinctions between social anxiety and depression in relation to coping.Keywords Social anxiety . Depression . Coping . Peer relations . LongitudinalResearch has shown that social anxiety and depression regularly co-occur (Ingram et al. 2001). For instance, of people with a lifetime diagnosis of social phobia, 37.2% also had a lifetime diagnosis of major depression (Kessler et al. 1994). There is also substantial co-morbidity between depression and social anxiety in childhood, with a review by King et al. (1991) finding correlations based on self-reports ranging from 0.40 to 0.70 in clinical and non-clinical samples. Nonetheless, there is also clear evidence of differentiation between social anxiety and depression with respect to various behavioural, emotional and cognitive characteristics (Brady and Kendall 1992;Ogul and Gencoz 2003;Hong 2007).In an attempt to understand these similarities and differences, the tripartite model of anxiety and depression Psychol (2010) 38:405-419 DOI 10.1007 (Clark and Watson 1991) proposes that there is a common core of high negative affect (e.g., feeling upset) in both disorders, but also that positive affect (e.g., enthusiasm) is low especially in depression, whereas physiological hyperarousal (e.g., nervousness) is high especially in anxiety. This model has also been used as a framework for understanding these conditions in children (e.g., Crook et al. 1998;Laurent and Ettelson 2001), and though there has bee...

“…Approach coping was a higher‐order factor composed of the Active Coping, Planning, and Positive Reinterpretation and Growth subscales of the COPE Inventory (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, ), following similar approaches elsewhere (e.g., Deisinger, Cassisi, & Whitaker, ; Lyne & Roger, ; Stowell et al, ; Weinstein et al, ). Each subscale was composed of four items, rated on a 1–5 Likert scale ( I did not do this at all to I did this a lot ).…”

“…In general, findings suggest that females appear to favour social support, emotion-focused, and avoidant coping strategies relative to males (Billings & Moos, 1981;Deisinger, Cassisi, & Whitaker, 2003;Pearlin & Schooler, 1978;Ptacek, Smith, & Zanas, 1992;Stein & Nyamathi, 1999), whereas, males appear to favour stress release through other activities and tend to more often turn to drugs or alcohol relative to females (e.g., Bird & Harris, 1990;Stein & Nyamathi, 1999). Although researches suggest gender differences in coping, they may be that gender-role orientation and related personality dimensions, rather than gender itself, account for gender differences in coping.…”

In exploring the life events of respondents over the half year past, a checklist (23 life items) was used. These items covered most of the events which are commonly found in an elderly cohort. In exploring the psychological well-being of the respondents, concepts were operationalized into 14 questions (9 items for positive affect and 5 items for depression), which were devised by Lawton (1987), to cover two constructs (i.e. positive affect and depression). The reliability for positive affect reached 0.91 (alpha), for depression reached 0.90 (alpha). Self-esteem levels of the respondents were measured by using the Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (alpha = 0.84). Locus of control (9 items) was measured by an instrument devised by Siu (1998) and the reliability was 0.87 (alpha). Respondents' coping effectiveness was assessed by an instrument (13 items) which was originally developed by Moos, Cronkite, Billings and Finney (1996) and modified by the researcher for the present study. The instrument covered four constructs (i.e. problem focus, avoidance, positive appraisal and emotional discharge) and their reliabilities ranged from 0.39 to 1 Ying Ming Court is included in this area. (alpha).The results of the study show that the average life events score of the respondents was 84.66 with the standard deviation 55.50, which means that generally they are at low stress level due to the occurrence of life events. Age-associated change in subjective health was very small in the study. Respondents showed a positive sense of personal worth and have medium level of internal locus of control. They tended to use more positive coping strategies to solve their problem, but the use of those coping strategies was not frequent. With regards to coping effectiveness, the study shows that there are gender differences. Female respondents thought that being more objective to problems did not help to solve them, whereas male respondents tended to think that emotion-focused coping strategies did not help to solve problems.Moreover, respondents showed both low level of positive affect and depression.No significant correlation has been found between life events and positive affect, but there is significant correlation between life events and depression. The study supports previous researches that show self-perceived health, self-esteem, and internality are significantly correlated with psychological well-being. However, only few coping strategies USE/HELP and coping effectiveness are partially correlated with psychological well-being. There are some intervening effects of self-esteem and internal locus of control found in the relationship between life events and psychological well-being. However, no intervening effect of coping strategies USE has been found in such a relationship, and only avoidance coping effectiveness showed a intervening (moderating) effect on the relationship between life events and positive affect. No intervening effect was found in the life events-psychological well-being model. However, some coping USE and effectiveness...
