Garren, Rikki A. Psychology Social Work homeless coping social stability Although coping is a widely studied construct, little research has explored coping as a potential predictor variable. Additionally, research comparing the potential mediating effects of treatment on the relationship of coping and behavioral outcomes is sparse. The potential to use coping as a predictor tool in tailoring interventions for marginalized populations, like homeless youth, is important for reintegrating such populations back into the mainstream society. Thus, the possibility to use a baseline measure of coping to predict post-treatment outcomes in a sample of 180 homeless youth and the potential of treatment to mediate the relationship between coping and social stability outcomes were evaluated. Analysis revealed that task-oriented, emotion-oriented, and avoidance-oriented coping all predict better adjusted outcomes in specific contexts. The current findings go against the traditional view of task-oriented coping as “good” and both emotion- and avoidance-oriented coping as “bad”. Further, findings suggest that treatment, in the form of Community Reinforcement Approach, did not mediate the relationship. Implications for potential interventions are also discussed. 2008-06-24 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1211389082 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1211389082 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
