Abstract

This research aims to: 1. Identify the ways of coping adolescent girls use: (a) when faced with academic and social stressors, and (b) whether these behaviors differ by school grade (Grade 7 or 9). 2. Examine the relationship between these behaviors and anxiety. One conclusion drawn is that Parents are the primary source of support used for academic stressors, while close friends are the primary source of support used for social stressors.
