VERDUGO-LUCERO, Julio César et al. Stress coping styles and subjective well-being in adolescents and young adults. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2013, vol.11, n.1, pp.79-91. ISSN 1692-715X.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of subjective well-being and stress coping styles in adolescents and young adults from Colima, México. A descriptive correlational study was conducted involving 436 participants, all of whom were high- school or undergraduate students. Data were collected using the Ways of Coping Questionnaire by Folkman and Lazarus (adapted version by Sandin & Chorot, 2003) and the Multidimensional Scale for Measuring Subjective Well-Being (Anguas-Platas & Reyes, 1998). Our findings indicated that teenagers showed a higher subjective well-being than their undergraduate counterparts. In both, adolescents and young adults, the most commonly used coping style was "Acceptance of Responsibility", whereas the least used coping style was "Escape- Avoidance".
