摘要：This study investigated characteristics of children`s coping behaviors in the context of perceived controllability of stress in hassles with parent(s),friend-alienation,friend-conflict,and in learning situations. The subjects were 489 sixth grade children selected from seven elementary schools in Seoul. Statistical analysis was by ANOVA,Scheffe′ test,and MANOVA. Major findings were that (1) Active,passive,aggressive,and avoidant coping differed by perceived controllability of stress in all 4 stress situations. The children who perceived a higher level of controllability were more active,and less passive,aggressive,and avoidant in coping with each hassle. (2) Perceived controllability was higher in learning related than in friend-conflict situations. Active,passive,and social support seeking coping behavior was higher in learning related stress situations than in friend-conflict situations. Avoidant coping behavior was lower in learning related than in friend-conflict situations..
