Description
Summary:The current study investigated the coping strategies 4-year-old preschoolers used for nine different everyday life stressors. Interview was conducted. Results showed that preschoolers (N=18) reported the highest usage of the primary control-direct problem solving and the secondary control-social/spiritual support. Correlations between gender and the frequency of strategies used were insignificance. Additionally, cognitive flexibility was found to be significantly correlated with secondary-control coping, though emotion regulation did not correlate with any of the coping strategies.
