Sažetak
A new self report measure of children's coping was administered in class-group format to 250 children in fifth to eighth grades. Subjects were asked to rate how often they used each coping behaviour (Frequency Scale) and how effective (Effectiveness Scale) they find them to be in their efforts to deal with two most common problems described by children: illness- related problems and school - related problems. The differences in specific stressors and coping strategies were examined according to discrete coping categories (assistance seeking, cognitive-behavioural problem solving, cognitive and behavioural avoidance, etc.). Data on sex and grade differences in coping are presented. Clinicians might benefit from routine screening of coping with illness - related stressors in children. Prevention and treatment of school related and illness related problems requires helping children changing the methods they use to cope with stressors.
