“…Seiffge-Krenke et al (2010), for example, analyzed how adolescents from different countries dealt with uncertainty concerning different aspects of the future, such as occupational planning, social expectations, and environmental damage. Essentially, the study showed a preference for active (i.e., SPC) and internal (i.e., SSC) coping over withdrawal (i.e., CSC).…”

Social and economic changes on the societal macro level, such as globalization, pluralization, and demographic shifts, create new demands that produce stress and require behavioral adaptation. In this largesample correlational study, which replicates a similar study previously conducted in Germany, we investigated how young and middle-aged adults from Poland (N ϭ 2,541) negotiated these demands. Dependent variables were engagement and disengagement strategies as defined by the motivational theory of life span development. By using planned contrasts between engagement (selective primary, selective secondary,

“…This study is part of a cross-cultural research project on adolescents' stress and coping in 25 countries. We started by analyzing country-level differences (Gelhaar et al, 2007) and intra-country versus cross-country differences (Haid et al, 2010;Seiffge-Krenke et al, 2010) for several European countries and found, despite distinctive patterns and variations within each country, impressive similarities in stress perception and coping styles among adolescents from different European countries such as Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, and Portugal. These findings, together with the lack of research on adolescents in the majority world (Arnett, 2008) and the structural uncertainty at the societal level in many countries of the world, prompted us to include samples from other regions of the world.…”

This study investigated how N ¼ 5,126 adolescents (mean age of 15 years) from 18 countries perceive and cope with future-and schoolrelated stress. The adolescents completed the Problem Questionnaire (PQ), which assesses stress, and the Coping Across Situations Questionnaire (CASQ), which assesses three coping styles (reflection/support-seeking, emotional outlet, and withdrawal/denial). Across countries, adolescents reported considerably higher levels of future-related stress than school-related stress. The adolescents actively coped with stressors in both domains and seldom relied on emotional outlet or withdrawal/denial. A clustering of the countries according to socioeconomic criteria and geographical proximity demonstrated that adolescents from the continental group of countries showed low stress and high coping. Adolescents in the east/Asia group showed medium stress and low coping and those in the south group showed high stress and low coping. Developmental context was more strongly associated with stress perception and coping, style than age or gender, a finding relevant for prevention approaches aiming to endorse positive orientation to the future and improve coping competence.

“…As expected, girls and young women reported more cognitive problems also influenced by their recognized characteristic of labile mood (HBSC Study-2010, Lazzeri et al, 2013. Other modifiable negative predictors of cognitive and mood problems were perceived support from friends, which has recently been recognized as an important predictor of general wellbeing in adolescence (Nilsen et al, 2013), and active coping (Seiffge-Krenke et al, 2010). The positive predictors of cognitive and mood problems were the following maladaptive coping strategies: behavioral disengagement, venting, self-blame and substance use.…”

The aims of this study were: to assess cognitive and mood problems, perceived social support and coping strategies in adolescence and early adulthood; to understand how coping strategies are related to age, gender and years of schooling; to identify possi- ble stable and modifiable predictors of cognitive and mood problems adopting LISREL software. The participants were 517 adolescents and young adults (age M = 18.95 years, SD = 3.2, range: 14 - 25); 59% were female and with a mean of 13.10 years of schooling (SD = 2.7). Participants were enrolled in secondary schools, association groups or university in Veneto, Italy. They completed a battery of self-report ques- tionnaires via a secure online site or in paper versions. The LISREL model was psy- chometrically solid and showed good fit (χ2 = 15.96, df = 12, p = 0.19, RMSEA = 0.025), explaining 26% of the variance and showing how the stable factor gender and some modifiable factors, namely certain coping strategies and friends’ support, pre- dicted cognitive and mood problems
