Resume
The article describes the psychological purpose of adolescent’s
coping behavior, as it is possible to adapt better than the person for
requirements of the developed difficult situation
The problem of coping behavior is one of the important and active development in
modern psychology. Coping behavior, or "coping" is derived from the
English «cope» - overcome ( to fight). Coping style, like individual life style
of man, defines sustainable way of mental adaptation, which affects both the
social environment, and the nature of interpersonal relations.
Keywords: coping, adaptive behavior, coping
behavior, psychological defense, development.
The child masters strategies of coping behaviors working with adults and
children, especially in the family, and then in society. How the child learns a
particular way of coping, and what factors affect their choice - is the subject
of scientific interest in recent years. Modern life is so dynamic, complex and
contradictory, that man always has to overcome various obstacles and
difficulties to adapt to situations, to find the most profitable way out of
difficulties. In this regard, a person must use all available resources in
order to remain adaptive and feel more or less safe. Psychological coping
purpose is to best adapt to the demands of the current human difficult
situation. Coping is a dynamic cognitive and behavioral efforts of the
individual, aimed at the management of external or internal factors that are
measured by it as threatening.
In Western psychology concepts coping stress and
coping behavior used to describe the characteristics of the process of human
behavior in various difficult situations. The term "coping behavior",
common in our psychology, is understood as a purposeful social behavior,
allowing the subject by conscious strategy, adequate personal characteristics
and situation, to cope with stress or difficult situations. The main task of
coping behavior - to achieve and maintain well-being, his physical and mental
health and satisfaction with social relations.
At present a new approach to the analysis of coping behavior as a subject is being developed,
determined by several factors: dispositional (personal), dynamic (situational),
socio-cultural (environmental) and regulators. In terms of the psychology of
the subject varying degrees of implementation of their own plans connected with
different measure of activity, integrity and self-determination of the
individual as a subject of activity and life.
Despite the relatively short history of active
study of psychological defenses and coping behavior, their relationship is one
of the controversial issues. Some researchers keep these concepts together, while
others, on the contrary, see in them a fundamental difference. According to
Freud, the content of social and psychological adjustment is described by a
"conflict alert → → protective reaction", helping each
episode of stress or conflict as a sequence of certain acts. This understanding
suggests a close interaction between different mechanisms of adaptive behavior
of the individual. B.D.Karvasarsky indicates that protection mechanisms and
coping mechanisms act as adaptive processes of the individual [Encyclopedia of
Psychotherapy, 1998].
Researchers
distinguish between two types of psychological defenses personalities -
intrapersonal and interpersonal. Intrapersonal protection are used to maintain
a positive image of the "I" at the expense of cognitive-emotional
information from the outside world. Interpersonal protection chosen person in
order to preserve their integrity by changing the nature of the interaction
with others. R.Lazarus, discussing the question of the division of defense
reactions, distinguished passive intrapsychic mechanisms, including their
passive coping behavior and intrapsychic coping forms, referred to as
psychological protection.
According to
N.Haan [Haan, 1977], coping and protection based on the same, identical ego
processes, but differ in the polar direction - either a productive or a weak
adaptation. Coping process begins with the perception of a call that triggers
cognitive, social, motivational and moral structure, whose actions are
essential for an adequate response. In the new situation to the individual
requirements, in which the existing response is not appropriate, there is a
coping process. If the new requirement is unaffordable for the individual, then
the coping process may take the form of protection. Defense mechanisms can
eliminate the trauma by distorting reality.
The main difference from the manifestation of
coping psychological defenses is that coping is plastic, depending on the
situation, the process and has a "delayed effect", that is
forward-looking. In addition, coping - is the subject of goal-directed behavior
as a source of possible conversion of the situation.
In accordance with the concept of stress Koping
[Lazarus, 1991] psychological defense and coping strategies are considered in
terms of their overall participation in the implementation of the adaptive
behavior of the individual.
Most researchers do not consider the formation of
coping behaviors in children under the age dynamics of their development, and
it is limited to studying only at a certain age, or in general - covering too
much age period. This approach gives only a general or fragmentary views are
not allowed to carry out with one hand - a more precise age and sex
differentiation in the study of the mechanisms of coping behavior, and on the
other hand - to assess the impact of the predictors - the entire set of
internal and external (environmental) factors in this process.
Becoming active coping behavior accounted for adolescence and early adolescence. This period in the life of
a person is considered to be the most difficult crisis and controversial.
Teenager faces mass of objective and subjective problems requiring resolution.
Sharply expressed hormonal transformation taking place at this age, affect the
behavior, internal states, reactions, mood and adolescents are often the basis
of its total imbalance of explosiveness, agitation or lethargy. Among the main
difficulties teenager stand reduced self-esteem, increased sensitivity and
irritability, physical and mental illness, the transfer of a frustration at the
world, a sense of loneliness, foreignness, misunderstood, fear of ridicule,
exaggeration of appearance defects, increased anxiety, restlessness and
uncertainty. According to the results of modern survey among adolescents,
"half fourteen times feel so miserable that cry and want to give up
everything and everyone. A quarter reported that they feel sometimes that
people look at them, talk about them, laugh at them. Every twelfth in the head
came the idea of suicide. "
During this period when there is a
desire to understand, there is a need for self-image. There is an important
objective assessment of its activity. There is an orientation to real
achievements. The importance of problems connected with self-image raises, the
reflection develops. Ideas of own possibilities, interests make self-image of
adolescents, are the main subject of their pride, form a basis for feeling of
their own advantage. From there is uneasiness concerning acts or appearance. At
some teenagers the inferiority complex can develop. The teenager constantly
gets to a discomfort situation, the emotional sphere is frustrated, i.e. it
reacts to this situation negative experiences which cause uneasiness.
Uneasiness is a tendency of the individual to experience of alarm which
represents an emotional condition. The condition is characterized by subjective
feelings of tension, concern, gloomy presentiments, and from the point of view
of physiology – activation of vegetative nervous system. This condition arises
as emotional reaction to a stressful situation.
Now we turn to the actual
forms of manifestations of anxiety in adolescence: redness or paleness of skin,
frequent urge to urinate, excessive sweating and trembling, hand tremor, a
symptom of "restless hands", increased restlessness, feeling special
awkwardness, clumsiness, and stiffness. Anxiety symptoms may be different, but
the severity of it depends on age differences. Age anxiety symptoms younger
students teenagers often cries, hiding. Always move something in his hands,
pulling the paper, clothes, hair. Sucking fingers, pens, hair, clothes. Rubbing
his hands, twisting his fingers, pulling the tip of the nose, excessive
sweating. Struggling chewing a pencil or pen. Tense, bound, can not relax.
Bites his nails. Confusion, irregular speech, ask additional questions. Lost
when turning suddenly experience their inconsistency school requirements.
Increased restlessness, many superfluous gestures, always loses something,
drops. Intently watching the reaction of teachers face catches the slightest
change, fear of the teacher.
Constantly corrects response, work without a
substantial improvement of its quality, constantly apologizing. Fear of school
attendance, particularly of not cope with the task, and the fear of the
teacher. Monitors the behavior of their peers, distracted. Behavioral
manifestations of anxiety in primary school age are different from teen that
they are infantile, associated with the change of social status, the fear of
"not be the" fear of not cope with the task, the fear of a teacher, a
sudden onset of the disease, an internal conflict between the conflicting
requirements of home and at school,
nervousness and aggressiveness of the child. Teenagers are more focused on the
tactile sensations of touch, they are going through because of its
"otherness" in the peer display aggressive behavior. Aggressiveness
is often hidden behind despair teen who seeks understanding and love, they want
to be in the spotlight. It is also not rare in adolescents found depression,
they do not have self-confidence, all requirements for myself react negatively.
Usually in adolescence anxiety can be fixed as a stable personal formation. For
anxiety and somatic typical teenage problems: abdominal pain, dizziness,
headaches, cramps in the throat, shortness of shallow breathing, dry mouth, a
lump in the throat, weakness in the legs, heart palpitations. Thus, we can
identify a number of specific features of anxiety symptoms in adolescence. The
level of anxiety in adolescence increases compared to the primary school age
according ongoing psychological and physiological changes. Anxiety is caused by
the growth of physiological and psychological reasons. Possible causes are
physiological maturation, activation of the autonomic nervous system. Any
changes in the body make the child emotionally - unbalanced. Psychological
reasons for the increase of anxiety may have conflicting expectations of a
teenager, inadequate self-esteem, self-interest, the need to belong to a group,
an acute response to its demands, the desire to be independent,
self-sufficient.
Apparently, such behavioral features are not yet
well developed in adolescents. This is reflected in the quality of social and
psychological interaction in stressful situations. On ways of coping with
stress affect individual psychological characteristics of the adolescent's
personality: temperament, level of anxiety, of thinking, especially controls to
nature. Thus, the selection of individual coping strategies depends not only on
the situation in which a teenager gets, but also on the personal
characteristics of the adolescent. On the definition of a particular type of
activity leading to adolescence, there are two points of view: 1. Dialogue
takes to be the leading type of activity and has intimate personal nature of
the subject of communication was a different person - the same age, and the
content is the construction and maintenance of a personal relationship with
him. As the leading type of the teenager playing socially useful activity,
during which there is a further development of various forms of relationships
with peers and with adults and deployed, according to Feldstein D.I., new forms of
communication "as the initiation of adolescents to society." All
researchers adolescent psychology somehow converge in the recognition of the
enormous significance of the teen with peers, so one of the main trends in
adolescence is a reorientation of communication with parents, teachers and
peers in the general older, more or less equal rank. A.V. Mudrik notes that the need to communicate
with their peers, which can not replace parents, occurs in children very early
and increases with age. Adolescent behavior, says Mudrik AV, in their
specificity, is the collective group / 3 /.
Studying the adolescent coping strategies authors often fix
dominance emotionally oriented forms of address. Deficit of constructive
strategies explained psychological characteristics of age.
As for intelligent strategies, they gradually
increase with the transition to the level of a teenager theoretically, abstract
logical thinking (12-14 years).
By late adolescence a person learns to use such
specific mechanisms of coping with internal stress that use adults. For
example, interact with the products of human creativity (read books, listen to
music, go to the movies), or creatively express themselves (write poetry, sing,
paint). Gradually, more and more teenagers have resorted to thinking and
comprehension of difficult situations. Interpersonal communication with their
peers, which is at times deeply intimate relationships, stimulates discussion
and comprehensive reflection of a variety of difficulties teenager.
It should be noted that, in search of protection
from stress, discomfort, stress, teenagers often resort to strategies of
addictive behavior.
For adolescents with addictive behavior such
peculiar characteristic, as reduced portability problems. This is due to the
hedonistic installation (the desire to get immediate pleasure to meet their
needs). Also, these teenagers often a hidden inferiority complex, which has
been reflected in frequent changes of mood, uncertainty, avoidance of
situations in which their skills can be objectively verified. Such teenagers
have the keen desire to make a positive impression on others.
Summarizing adolescents’ coping strategies can be
noted that the development of the ability to find and implement the best
solutions to crisis situations are as they grow older and life experience. The
most important aspect in the decision making coping strategies is to strengthen
the rational sensible approach to these problems associated cognitive abilities
of the child.
