An analysis of stressful life events during adolescence
Year: 2009
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The goal of this study was to examine stressful life events –in a quantitative and a qualitative manner– using a large adolescent sample. Additionally, we explored possible differences between girls and boys in how they deal with psychosocial stress. Firstly, results showed that school and family contexts were the main causes of stressful events in adolescence. Secondly, data analysis revealed a similar pattern in how girls and boys manage psychosocial stress during adolescence, but there were also significant differences in particular events, in relation to both their frequency and their emotional impact
