Abstract
The article presents a study of coping strategies and self-regulation of adolescents from age and gender perspective.
The Introduction provides a theoretical overview of coping behavior and self-regulation. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the additional differentiation of adolescence, which allows a more detailed study of the relationships between coping and self-regulation.
The Methods section describes the main research methods and the procedure for applying the following psychological tests: "Methods of coping behavior" (T. L. Kryukova), "Style of self-regulation of behavior" (V. I. Morosanova), "Research of volitional self-regulation" (A. V. Zverkova, E. V. Eidman). The sample description: 166 people aged 15 to 20 years (137 girls, 29 boys).
The Results section presents the comparative analysis of the coping methods and self-regulation in the subgroups by gender and age, as well as an analysis of the relationship between them in different age subgroups of adolescents. It was found that the style of self-regulation "Flexibility" prevails among young men; they are more persistent and demonstrate greater self-control. Girls are more likely to prefer seeking social support, accepting responsibility, and avoiding. The indicators of these types of coping among girls also differ by greater tension. In addition, significant differences were found in the relationships between coping strategies and self-regulation in different age groups.
The Discussion section contains the analysis of the obtained results in accordance with the level of their significance, as well as with the data of contemporary research.
The Conclusion summarizes the findings, describes the prospects and practical significance of this study.
