Sažetak
The present study is an attempt to investigate the parents' perceptions of their children's coping strategies with school failure. The School Failure Coping Scale was administered to 387 elementary school students aged from 10 to 15 years (241 girls and 146 boys) in order to assess their coping strategies with school failure. The same scale was administered to their parents asking them to assess coping strategies of their children when confronted with bad grade in school. Although there were some differences in coping strategies used by children and the perception of these strategies on the behalf of parents, parents were generally able to correctlyy predict their children's coping strategies. Parent's prediction of child's coping strategy accounted for 26% of child's problem solving coping strategy variance, 30% of emotions coping strategy variance, 24% of child's forgetting coping strategy variance and 34% of social support variance. The best parent's prediction was for social support and the worst for problem solving coping strategy.
