“…Research has established links between stress exposure and coping responses in youth of color (Brittian et al, 2013;Forster et al, 2022;Gaylord-Harden & Cunningham, 2009). However, the majority of studies on stress and coping responses has been conducted with cross-sectional designs (Forster et al, 2022;Gaylord-Harden & Cunningham, 2009), investigates mainstream coping strategies (e.g., problem-focused versus emotion-focused, active coping versus distraction coping; Pelekanakis et al, 2022;Wicks et al, 2022) or examines the moderating (Christophe et al, 2019;Forster et al, 2022;Gaylord-Harden & Cunningham, 2009) rather than the mediating role of coping on the association between stress exposure and youth's socioemotional adaptation. Nevertheless, theoretical and empirical evidence suggest that youth of color use different coping strategies in response to different types of sociocultural stress (Clark et al, 1999;Gaylord-Harden et al, 2012) and the use of distinct coping strategies, in turn, are associated with divergent adaptational outcomes (Chen et al, 2023;Gaylord-Harden & Cunningham, 2009).…”

Contemporary biological and contextually based theoretical frameworks have conceptualized how stress exposure may influence adaptation in youth. However, nearly all of this scholarship neglects the role of specific contextual features and/or biological processes that are involved in ethnic-racial minority youth’s responses and adaptation to sociocultural stressors. Drawing on the theoretical principles of the developmental psychopathology framework and contemporary models of stress and adaptation, this article proposes a new multisystem model that explains how multiple levels and systems within and outside of individual youth influence their sociocultural adaptation. We provide empirical evidence to support components of this multisystem model. We propose that research based on our new theoretical framework will capture the sociocultural experiences of ethnic-racial minority youth by centering processes that are relevant to their lived experiences, coping, and adjustment. In doing so, this model will inform psychosocial interventions focused on promoting healthy adaptation among ethnic and racial diverse youth. Finally, we offer recommendations to guide future research on stress and adaptation among ethnic and racial diverse youth, in particular, and developmental psychopathology more broadly.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused unexpected and unprecedented disruptions worldwide. University students, especially international students, underwent unique challenges during this volatile era. This secondary quantitative data analysis study aimed to investigate the experiences, stress, adjustment, and ways of coping of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data from 112 international university students and 112 domestic American university students were included in the statistical analyses. The differences in Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ), Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WAYS), COVID-19-related questionnaire, and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) between international and domestic students were analyzed using independent samples t-tests. Multiple regression models predicting PSS by SACQ, WAYS, and COVID-19-related questionnaire subscales were estimated for international and domestic students separately. The results showed that international students and American students did not report significant differences in their university adjustment, usage of coping strategy, and perceived stress level during the peak of the pandemic. Additionally, American students reported more factors impacting their perceived stress than international students. Implications of the findings as well as limitations and future directions were discussed.
