Self-concept in Relation to Coping with Stress in Adolescence
The research objective of this study is to contribute to description of possible relations between self-image and coping with stressful situations in adolescence (secondary school and university students, N = 101). Emotional aspect of self-image or self-evaluation but also conative aspect or self-efficacy appear to represent parameters which are up to some extent related to choice of particular strategies of coping with stress (Tobin’s Coping Strategy Inventory). Research results show also certain development and gender differences in observed parameters.
