Abstract

Using a transactional model of stress and coping, a measure of children's coping is offered and applied in a semi-structured interview in which specific coping styles are assessed. Data from 176 school-age children yielded findings on age and gender differences along with other preliminary suggestions of the validity of the instrument.
