Participants were 321 adolescent 7th and 8th graders (51% males, 69% white) at the time of data collection. Exposure to in-person and cyberbullying situations, perceived controllability over the situation, coping skills, and efficacy were measured via adolescent self-report. Adolescents reported using more coping strategies overall to deal with in-person bullying stressors than cyberbullying stressors. Results also showed that adolescents reported using more problem solving, retaliation, distraction, and distancing coping strategies for in-person bullying, but they used more social support-friend coping strategies for cyberbullying stressors. Adolescents perceived higher levels of controllability for in-person bullying than cyberbullying. Problem solving and social support-family/adult coping strategies were used significantly more for cyberbullying problems that were perceived as controllable vs. those perceived as uncontrollable. Perceived coping efficacy was positively predicted by positive coping strategies (problem solving, social support-friend, social support-family) and distraction for in-person bullying and it was predicted by positive coping strategies and controllability over the stressor for cyberbullying. Perceived coping efficacy was negatively predicted by retaliation coping strategies for both in-person bullying and cyberbullying. 2013-08-06 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1370276537 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1370276537 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
