摘要：The present study describes the development of a self-report measure of coping with school failure for elementary school children. In the pilot study a list of 56 items was collected on a sample of 75 subjects aged from 9 to 14. The items were administered to 275 elementary school students of the same age (139 girls and 136 boys). Factor analysis of the data produced five coping strategies: Solving problems, Emotional reactions, Forgetting, Seeking social support and Self-blame. Internal consistencies were in the 0.61 to 0.78 range. Significant age and gender differences were found for almost all coping strategies. Differences were also found between high and low-achieving students, students with high and low self-esteem and students with high and low levels of anxiety. Possible theoretical and practical implications of the results were also discussed.
