Coping strategies of adolescents with deviant behaviour

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: The goal of the study was to find differences of coping strategies in samples of 320 adolescents (152 boys, 168 girls) with deviant behaviour. Self-report questionnaires were used to assess coping processes and strategies. Considering previous researches, we expected that adolescents with deviant behaviour would differ in their coping strategies from the adolescents without deviant behaviour. Supporting our hypothesis, the results demonstrated that deviant adolescents were more likely to use disengagement coping strategies. The strategies and the differences were described. The results were analysed with the consideration of age, sample and family context.
