Influence of Self-esteem on Coping in Adolescents: Age and Gender Differences
Original language description
The study deals with age and gender differences in usage of coping strategies and self-esteem in adolescence. Participants were divided in younger (12?15 years; N=275) and older (16?19 years; N=166) group. Brief COPE was used to identify coping strategies and SLCS-R scale to identify self-esteem. Between-subject test showed that younger adolescents more often used denial (F=12.856). Older chose more often humour (F=4.222). In younger group were more frequent feelings of self-incompetence (F=3.865) and self-rejection (F=15.578). Girls used more emotional (F=30.755) and instrumental support (F=12.140). Boys chose more often humour (F=24.929). Correlation and regression analysis showed that the self-competence is positively related to adaptive strategiesand negatively related to maladaptive strategies. Self-incompetence was positively associated with maladaptive coping. Age was important in the relationship between self-esteem and coping, especially in maladaptive strategies.
