Differences in Young Adolescents' Coping Strategies Based on Gender and Ethnicity.

Copeland, Ellis P.; Hess, Robyn S.

Journal of Early Adolescence, v15 n2 p203-19 May 1995

Analysis of Anglo or Hispanic ninth-graders' (n=244) reports on coping strategies showed that females engaged in social relationships and creating change, either in actual or cognitive terms, more frequently than males. Boys tended to rely on stress reduction activities or diversions. Ethnicity tactics were also noted. (RJM)
