“…As an ineffective form of coping, IA could result in poor adjustment in early 4 adulthood, precipitating hostility (Yen et al, 2008). Nevertheless, developmental maturation between the ages of 16 and 18 years might allow adolescents to develop more advanced coping strategies, such as interpersonal and problem solving skills (Williams & McGillicuddy-De Lisi, 1999) to deal with hostility symptoms rather than using the Internet.…”

Internet addiction (IA) has become an increasingly researched topic. In the present study, IA symptoms in adolescents were investigated longitudinally with specific focus on the individual's hostility, gaming use (of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games MMORPG gamers and more hostile adolescents presented more symptoms of IA. However, being a member of a classroom with a higher percentage of MMORPG gamers appeared to be a protective factor for IA. These longitudinal data emphasize the importance of contextual factors at the level of the classroom in determining differences in IA symptoms during adolescence.

“…It has been found that older adolescents (compared to younger adolescents) have a variety of strategies at their disposal, such as problem-solving and reappraisal (Spear, 2000;Williams and McGillicuddy-De Lisi, 1999). However, these changes appear not to have been strong enough to compensate the risk effect of hostility on IA symptoms.…”

“…On the one hand, we were interested in further examining the link between binge eating and the coping strategies used by adolescents who have not yet developed an eating disorder. Adolescents cope with their daily stresses and problems with strategies that they have learnt and improved over the years (Williams & McGillicuddy-De Lisi, 2000). The lack of skills to cope with difficulties may create a situation of greater stress which in some cases could compel the adolescent to try to escape from it through an avoidance mechanism such as binge eating.…”

The present study had two major goals: to explore the relationship between binge eating and coping strategies in a sample of Spanish adolescents and to examine the adolescents' concept of binge eating. Two hundred and fifty-nine adolescents from a secondary school completed the Adolescent Coping Scale (ACS; Frydenberg & Lewis, 1993) and the Bulimic Investigatory Test, Edinburgh (BITE; Henderson & Freeman, 1987), as well as additional questions regarding the binge-eating episodes. The results show that the adolescents who reported binge eating used more avoidance coping strategies than those who did not engage in this behavior. Adolescents took into account mainly the amount of food eaten when defining a binge with few of them mentioning loss of control in their descriptions. The results of the study have implications for the prevention of this behavior. The development of constructive ways for solving daily problems and coping with stressors may be a possible prevention strategy for this behaviour in adolescence. Keywords: binge, coping strategies, avoidanceEste estudio tenía dos objetivos principales: explorar la relación entre los atracones de comida y las estrategias de afrontamiento en una muestra de adolescentes españoles y examinar el concepto que tienen los adolescentes de atracones. Una muestra de 259 adolescentes de una escuela secundaria rellenaron el ACS y el BITE, así como preguntas adicionales sobre los episodios de atracones. Los resultados muestran que los adolescentes que informaban del comportamiento de atracones empleaban más estrategias evitativas de afrontamiento que los que no realizaban este tipo de comportamiento. Al definir un atracón, los adolescentes consideraban principalmente la cantidad de comida consumida y pocos mencionaban la pérdida de control en sus descripciones. Los resultados del estudio tienen implicaciones para la prevención de este comportamiento. El desarrollo de formas constructivas para resolver los problemas cotidianos y afrontar los estresores puede ser una estrategia de prevención de este comportamiento en adolescentes. Palabras clave: atracón, estrategias afrontamiento, evitación

“…However, among our sample of cancer survivors, differences between boys and girls disappear, contrary to what happens with the normative group where a preferential pattern of coping strategies between boys and girls exists (Frydenberg & Lewis, 1993). It is possible that the oncological experience might have blended the pattern of some coping strategies among survivors, erasing in some degree the differences between sexes expected for their developmental stage (Mullis & Chapman, 2000;Williams & McGillicuddy, 1999). Although every individual experience with cancer is unique, some studies support that regardless of the type of cancer, the treatment or other medical variables, all people diagnosed with cancer experience similar distress (Erickson & Steiner, 2000;Langeveld, Grootenhuis, Voute, & de Haan, 2004;Meeske, Ruccione, Globe, & Stuber, 2001).…”

Abstract. This research assesses Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in a Spanish sample of adolescent cancer survivors, and analyzes the relationship between HRQoL, coping styles and physical exercise. Forty-two survivors (12-19 years), who were ≥ 1 year of remission, completed standardized measures of HRQoL (CHIP-AE), coping strategies (ACS) and physical exercise (AECEF). Mean scores in all HRQoL domains were within normative values. Multiple regression analysis revealed that physical exercise and productive coping were related to higher HRQoL, whereas nonproductive coping was related to lower HRQoL. This sample of survivors reported good levels of HRQoL, which are mediated by coping styles and physical exercise.
