Daily Stressors, Coping Strategies and Adjustment of Adolescents

In this monograph Iffat has explored the daily stressors experienced by adolescents in a socio- cultural perspective. A multilevel assessment approach is used to identify and analyze coping patterns among adolescents. It is done at micro and macro levels and for this purpose Dispositional, Situational and Daily coping methods were used. Findings of this study suggest that adolescents are stressed mainly in four domains namely academics, interpersonal, intrapersonal and socio environmental. Adolescents rely mostly on functional coping strategies and they mostly use religious coping and planning for the solution of their daily stressors. This study was conducted with a view to help those professionals who deal with adolescents be educated about the areas of adolescent stress that can interfere with their progress in academic or non-ademic setting. This book will also be of interest to parents,teachers and adolescents themselves.
