Preoccupied and Avoidant Coping during Middle Childhood.
Finnegan, Regina A.; And Others
Child Development, v67 n4 p1318-28 Aug 1996
Developed measures of preoccupied and avoidant coping to determine whether the measures concurrently relate to adjustment problems. Subjects were 229 children from third through seventh grades. Results indicated that preoccupied and avoidant coping with the mother can contribute to maladjustment in other arenas. Children's adjustment with peers might influence the coping style they adopt with their mother. (MOK)
