Abstract :

 The present study was intended to assess coping of sexually abused and sexually non–abused adolescents. The objective of the study was to examine coping between sexually abused and sexually non–abused adolescents. The personal data sheet and Adolescent Coping Scale (Frydenberg & Lewis, 1993) were administered on 392 adolescents from Goa – 192 of whom had experienced some form of sexual abuse and 200 of whom had never experienced any form of sexual abuse. The obtained raw scores were analyzed using t–test.  Results indicated significant differences in the dimensions of coping between sexually abused and sexually non–abused adolescents. The sexually abused adolescents were found to have significantly higher non–productive coping and significantly lower coping by solving the problem as compared to sexually non–abused. However, there was no significant difference in the reference to others coping between the sexually abused and non–abused adolescents.
