Numerous social, psychological, behavio
u
ral, environmental and biological factors together
influence our physical and mental health, stress occupying a significant role in this intera
ction. The
lack of proper coping strategies with stress may lead to negative consequences, having an effect on
the physical and mental health, ultimately unfavo
u
rably influencing the quality of life.
The subjects of the present study were a subsample of th
e 2nd Hungarian National Growth Study
(2003
–
2006), a cross
-
sectional study to collect data on the biological and psycho
-
social status of
children between 3 and 18 years. Altogether 1601 males and 1592 females (aged 10
–
18 years)
were studied. The research c
an be considered domestically original, as the eight coping strategies
depending on multiple variables were not examined before on a high number of Hungarian school
-
aged children.
The main goal of the dissertation is (1) to
analy
s
e
the changes in the copin
g strategies, based on
age and gender, and to examine the frequency of selected coping methods depending on (2) body
shape, (3) sexual status, (4) soci
o
-
economic background, (5) psycho
-
somatic symptoms and (6)
subjective health status and life satisfaction
.
Our
results
evidenced that (1)
age and gender fundamentally influence the frequency of the selected
eight coping strategies
; (2)
in certain cases overweight and obese children more frequently apply
less successful coping methods
; (3)
those who are more
s
exually
mature in comparison to their
peers more frequently utilize active coping strategies
(h
owever, it has not been verified that less
mature choose less successful strategies
);(4)
children living in worse soci
o
-
economic status more
frequently choose ma
ladaptive coping methods and strategies to handle emotions caused by
unchangeable situations
; (5)
psycho
-
somatic symptoms occur frequently both in the case of
successful
and less successful strategies; and (6) t
he use of adaptive strategies was typical of
those
who considered their health better and were more satisfied with their lives.
