Können Unterschiede in Stresswahrnehmung und -bewältigung Geschlechtsunterschiede in der depressiven Symptombelastung bei Jugendlichen erklären?
2001
Zusammenfassung: Die vorliegende Längsschnittstudie untersucht den differentiellen Beitrag von Belastung, Bewältigung und sozialen Beziehungen zur Erklärung depressiver Symptombelastung im Jugendalter. 101 weibliche und 89 männliche Jugendliche nahmen an vier jährlichen Erhebungswellen teil, in denen depressive Symptome, Alltagsbelastungen, Konflikte mit Eltern und Freunden, der Copingstil sowie das Selbstkonzept untersucht wurden. Im Alter von 14 Jahren wurden bei weiblichen im Vergleich zu männlichen Jugendlichen ein höheres Ausmaß an Alltagsstressoren, mehr Konflikte in der Beziehung zur Mutter sowie mehr vermeidendes Coping festgestellt; männliche Jugendliche wiesen zu allen Messzeitpu…
The role of success expectation and task-avoidance in academic performance and satisfaction: Three studies on antecedents, consequences and correlates
2003
Abstract To investigate the prospective relationships between individuals’ success expectation and task-avoidance, and their academic achievement and satisfaction, 231 students were examined yearly throughout their university careers in Study 1. It was found that students’ success expectation predicted academic achievement and satisfaction; which, in turn, increased their subsequent success expectation. Moreover, task-avoidance predicted low academic achievement and dissatisfaction, which again was predictive of subsequent task-avoidance. In Study 2, the task-avoidant behavior, and pre-examination anxiety, of 198 students who had participated in Study 1 were examined, and compared with thei…
Research Directions in the Study of Gaming-Related Escapism: a Commentary to Melodia, Canale, and Griffiths (2020)
2021
AbstractEscapism motivations and related processes (e.g., avoidance, dissociation, relaxation, and emotion dysregulation) have been identified as risk factors for problematic gaming. However, the escapism construct has often been poorly conceptualized and operationalized in assessment instruments. In their systematic review, Melodia et al. (2020) proposed that conceptualizing escapism as an avoidant coping strategy could provide a sound basis for further study of problematic gaming. In this commentary, we critically examine some terminological and conceptual issues in relation to escapism to guide future research.
Avoidant coping, verbal-autonomic response dissociation and pain tolerance
2006
Higher autonomic reactivity relative to self-reported discomfort, often found in repressors and avoidant copers might be associated with a diminished perception of bodily symptoms. This study aimed at relating such so-called verbal-autonomic response dissociation to pain tolerance. Eighty-five volunteers underwent a public speaking task and a cold pressor test. Heart rate and negative affect in response to the speech, and pain ratings and facial muscle responses for the cold pressor were obtained. A dissociation score was calculated for each individual in response to speech, thereby subtracting standardized changes in negative affect from standardized changes in heart rate. Response dissoci…
Avoidant coping style and verbal-cardiovascular response dissociation
1996
Abstract This study explored the relationship between an avoidant coping style and three responses during three experimental periods (i.e., speech preparation, speech delivery, and recovery). One response was cardiovascular reactivity, the two other responses were subjective in nature: self-reports of anxiety and self-estimations of blood pressure. Subjects were 20 male and 20 female students who scored either in the upper third (i.e., high-avoiders) or lower third (i.e., low-avoiders) on cognitive avoidance (Krohne, 1989). When compared to subjects scoring low on avoidance, those high on avoidance showed greater systolic blood pressure (SBP) reactivity and evidenced verbal-autonomic respon…
