“…In contrast, Arabs in Israel are a relatively collectivistcommunal, homogeneous cultural group, characterized by collectivistic tendencies (maintaining group membership, harmonious relations with others, etc. ), and more authoritarian parenting (Dwairy, 2004).The bulk of the research on cultural group effects in Israel has been based on the individualismcollectivism paradigm (Gelhaar et al, 2007). Overall, this research suggests that Israelis are closer to the individualistic pole, whereas Arabs are closer to the collectivistic pole.…”

This study, based on the cognitive model of stress (Lazarus, 1999), examined 294 Jewish and 234 Arab students' stress appraisals, coping strategies, and emotional and behavioral reactions to academic stressors. Perceived stress was positively related to emotion/support and avoidance coping, which, in turn, were related to high negative affect and risk taking. The findings suggest interventions among students to aid them to successfully adapt to academic stress.

“…There has been research to suggest the existence of specific differences in the ways that people from different European countries respond to stressors. 34 To fully investigate this possibility, future research would need to explore the stability of these coping strategies and the relationship between these and participants' long-term psychological well-being and adjustment to SCI. Results from the regression analyses supported previous research.…”

Cognitive appraisals, coping and quality of life outcomes: a multi-centre study of spinal cord injury rehabilitation

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Study design: Longitudinal, multiple wave panel design. Objectives: To investigate the degree to which current thinking in terms of early appraisals and coping predicts adjustment and quality of life outcomes after spinal cord injury, and to what degree social and demographic variables are involved. Setting: Data were analysed from 266 patients recruited as part of an ongoing study from specialist units in selected British, Swiss, German and Irish spinal centres. Method: Questionnaire booklets were administered as soon as possible after injury onset and after 12 weeks to patients with newly acquired spinal cord injuries. Individuals included had sustained their injury between the ages of 16 and 83. Results: Significant improvements in outcome measures were found across the data set within the first 12 weeks after spinal cord injury and changes observed in the appraisals and coping strategies employed. Significant differences were found between participating centres on both outcome measures and in the coping and appraisal processes used. Coping and appraisal processes at 6 weeks after injury were found to contribute significantly to the variation in psychological well-being at 12 weeks after injury. Conclusion: This study shows the process of adjustment to spinal cord injury to begin in the early stages of rehabilitation, and initial appraisals are important to how an individual will cope with their injury and to their psychological well-being. Support is also given to the importance of psychological factors to functional outcomes.

“…No entanto, a importância do seu estudo é evidente, sendo referido como um fator essencial no ajustamento dos adolescentes (Compas et al, 2001), permite-nos compreender e desenhar estratégias preventivas adequadas, localizar apoios adequados ou ajudar o adolescente a lidar adaptativamente com os desafios que se lhes colocam (Zimmer-Gembeck & Skinner, 2008;Zimmer-Gembeck & Skinner, 2011). Em geral, os resultados tendem a sugerir que uso predominante de formas de coping mais funcionais, é independente à cultura (Gelhaar et al, 2007). No entanto, em termos diferenciais, os estudos realizados junto de adolescentes têm permitido perceber um reportório mais associado à resolução de problemas nas moças, partilha com outros significativos, procura de ajuda ou manutenção de uma atitude positiva, enquanto que os rapazes tendem a usar estratégias menos eficazes, como comportamentos agressivos (Bermúdez, Teva, & Buela-Casal, 2009;Campos, Delgado, & Jiménez, 2012;Gelhaar et al, 2007;Rodríguez, Torres, & Páez, 2012).…”

ResumoA adolescência é uma fase desenvolvimental marcada por desafios. No sentido de conhecer melhor as estratégias que os adolescentes utilizam para lidar com o stress, pretendeu-se com este estudo apresentar as propriedades psicométricas da Escala de Estratégias de Coping na Adolescência (Burnett & Fanshawe, 1997), testada junto de uma amostra de adolescentes portugueses, explorando diferenças em função do género e da idade. Os resultados permitiram encontrar uma estrutura factorial válida e com consistência interna genericamente adequada. Os dados permitem perceber diferenças nas estratégias de coping, com as moças a procurar mais apoio dos outros e melhoria pessoal, enquanto os rapazes utilizam mais frequentemente drogas ou o humor. Em função da idade verificouse uma relação positiva com o uso de substâncias e diminuição da procura de apoio da família e de profissionais. Os dados são discutidos à luz da literatura e implicações para a prática são apresentadas.Palavras-chave: adolescência; coping; psicometria. AbstractAdaptation of the Adolescent Coping Strategies Scale in a Portuguese sample. Adolescence is a developmental period marked by challenges. In order to better understand the strategies that adolescents use to cope with stress, it is intended with this study to present the psychometric properties of the Adolescent Coping Strategies Scale (Fanshawe & Burnett, 1997), tested with a sample of Portuguese adolescents, exploring differences by gender and age. The results allowed to find a valid and generally adequate internal consistency factor structure. The data allow to discern differences in coping strategies, with the girls to seek more support from others and personal improvement, while boys more often use of drugs or humor. We found a positive relationship between age and substance use and decreased demand for support from family and professionals. The data are discussed according to literature and implications for practice are presented.Keywords: adolescence; coping; psychometrics.
