“…The higher the z-value, the more this specific coping strategy is used by adolescents of this culture, compared with the remaining coping strategies of this particular coping style. Additionally, within-country rankings were conducted per culture and coping style, based on the procedure suggested by the International Round Table for the Advancement of Counselling (Gibson et al, 1991(Gibson et al, , 1992.…”

“…Yet, the experiences and stressors that young people face can vary substantially across contexts and cultures. For instance, young people in developed nations experience vastly different types and levels of stressors and everyday hassles to those in developing nations (Call et al, 2002; Gibson et al, 1991). Furthermore, the particular ways in which young people cope with difficult situations and emotions are embedded within their wider social and cultural ecologies (Call et al, 2002; Oláh, 1995; Ungar et al, 2008).…”

The aim of our study was to examine early adolescents’ perspectives on and experiences of coping with the problems, difficult situations, and feelings that can arise in daily life in England. Our study draws on the first time point of semistructured interviews ( N = 82) conducted with 9 to 12 year olds across six regions of England as part of HeadStart, a mental health and well-being program. Using thematic analysis, eight main themes were derived from the dataset relating to participants’ coping behavior: activities and strategies, disengaging from problems, standing up for yourself, acceptance of problems, social support, HeadStart support, other professional support, and hiding feelings or problems. The findings enhance our understanding of how early adolescents manage their problems outside of professional input, highlight where professional input could seek to influence or bolster early adolescents’ coping strategies, and could be used to inform existing taxonomies of coping behavior.

“…Dlatego też za najbardziej adaptacyjne w tej fazie uważane są działania zorientowane na problem, choć podejmowane są także strategie skoncentrowane na emocjach, które pozwalają uczniowi zmniejszyć napięcie i lęk przed zbliżającym się egzaminem. Prowadzone w tym zakresie badania potwierdziły, że najczęściej wykorzystywane przez nastolatków są strategie skoncentrowane na problemie (Gibson, i in., 1991), zmniejsza się natomiast korzystanie ze strategii unikowych (Gelhaar, i in., 2007). Podkreśla się także, że młodzież w procesie radzenia sobie ze stresem egzaminacyjnym korzysta z kilku strategii jednocześnie (Zeidner, 1995).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the role of resiliency in coping with stress related to the matriculation examination. Additionally, it was analysed whether the strategies used change as the examination approaches. The study involved 82 secondary school students of the final year at the age of 18-19. The Resiliency Assessment Scale-SPP-25 and the Multidimensional Inventory for Measuring Stress Coping-COPE were applied. The COPE study focused on assessing the strategies used in coping with stress related to the matriculation exam (situational version). It was conducted twice, the second one took place 3 months after the first one (two weeks before the exam). It occurred that resiliency was significantly associated with the strategies of coping with stress in both stages of the study, however it was stronger in the period immediately preceding the final examination. The correlation between resiliency and adaptive strategies, such as active coping with stress and positive reframing were positive, while the correlation between avoidance strategies, such as denial or behavioural disengagement were negative. The study shows that resiliency may significantly increase the effectiveness of coping with examination stress.
