To assess the usage and helpfulness of a range of general and specific coping strategies
Suitable for ages 12-18 years.
The Adolescent Coping Scale Second Edition is a 60-item self-report inventory that is useful for considering growth and development surrounding coping and for facilitating the development of coping strategies.
This assessment provides a graphical profile of an individual’s degree of usage of 20 coping strategies and an evaluation of their perceived helpfulness. It categorises these strategies into two distinct coping styles. Coping can be defined as a set of cognitive and affective actions that arise in response to a particular concern. They represent an attempt to restore the balance or remove the turbulence for the individual. This may be done by solving the problem (that is, removing the concern) or accommodating the concern without bringing about a solution.
The Adolescent Coping Scale Second Edition assesses how individual adolescents cope with either overall concerns or a particular concern. It reliably assesses 20 distinct coping strategies
