“…To obtain emerging themes and categories across the data, we utilized the constant comparative method, which allows researchers to simultaneously code and analyze data to develop concepts and to compare interviewees with one another (Kim, Park, Malonebeach, & Heo, 2016; McCracken, 1988). Two investigators coded the transcripts, and made comparisons prior to finalizing the codes.…”

“…This study employed two strategies to increase the credibility of the data: an expert review process and a member-checking process (Creswell, 2009; Kim et al, 2016). First, using the expert review process, we conducted peer-debriefing processes with colleagues, providing opportunities for us to challenge each other’s interpretations and improve the credibility of the data.…”
Purpose: Korean adolescents are under excessive academic pressure because of the competitive college entrance examination. This study examined the characteristics of coping strategies on the academic stress experienced by senior high school students in Korea. Methods: A total of 11 adolescents who were preparing for the college entrance examination participated in this study. This study employed semi-structured in-depth interviews. A constructive grounded theory was employed to capture the characteristics of stress-coping strategies among adolescents. Results: After analyzing the data, we identified four themes as strategic attributes of stress-coping for academic stress among Korean adolescents: (a) creating coping strategies in a physically active manner; (b) creating coping strategies in a non-physical and positive form; (c) utilizing maladaptive coping mechanisms; and (d) relying upon religious belief and spiritual power. Conclusion: This study indicates that Korean adolescents developed their own coping strategies to deal with various academic stressors through either positive or negative forms of leisure.

Section: Ethnic Segmentation Segregation and Interaction During Leismentioning
This paper investigates the most common leisure time activities, activity sites and the interaction between members of minority and majority populations as they spend their time out‐of‐home and out‐of‐workplace. We ask the question how leisure time activities are related to the ethnic dimensions of residential and workplaces. Our case study area is Tallinn, Estonia, and the main findings show that leisure time activity patterns have become very similar across the main ethnic groups, which is different from what is found for workplace and residential segregation. This shows the integrative potential of leisure time activities. However, since members of the minority and majority population still tend to visit different leisure sites, there is little interaction. We also find that people often spend their free time close to home, which implies that high levels of ethnic residential segregation translate into ethnic segregation during leisure time.
