- Abstract
The study deals with age and gender differences in the types of demanding life situations, their appraisal and subsequent coping in adolescence. The group consisted of 411 adolescents aged 12-19 years. The younger group (12-15 years) consisted of 245 students (M = 130, M = 115) in 8th and 9th grade of primary school and junior classes of secondary schools. The older group (16-19 years) consisted of 166 students (M = 57 F = 109) from 2nd to 4th grade of secondary schools. All tested characteristics were examined by using the CSI (Tobin et al., 1984, 1989). Analysis of the demanding life situations did not reveal any gender or age differences in the types of situations. The only exception was the situation of public performing, which occurred in older adolescents. Age and gender differences emerged for appraisal of the situation: younger adolescents more often appraised the situation as unfamiliar; girls appraised the situation as more unsolvable. The seriousness of the situation has changed from a gender perspective and age: the younger girls appraised the situation as more serious than younger boys, in older adolescents, it was the opposite. In the usage of coping strategies, gender differences emerged only when the girls use more emotion-oriented strategies and strategy wishful thinking. Gender and age differences played an important role in the relationship between appraisal of the situation and following selection of coping strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
