P. Madhavi, B. S. Kumar Reddy

Abstract :

An attempt was made in the present investigation to study the role of anxiety, depression and personality on emotion– focused coping style in a sample of 400 adolescent girls selected randomly in the age group of 14–17 years, studying in secondary schools of Chittoor district of A.P. Data were collected by using Anxiety scale (Sinha, 1989), Depression Scale (Karim and Rama Tiwari, 1986), Personality Inventory (Williams, 1998) and Coping Styles scale (Kumar and Sreenivas, 1998). A 2X2X2 factorial design was employed. ANOVA was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study revealed that anxiety and personality have significant influence on emotion– focused coping styles among adolescent girls. Adolescent girls with type–A personality and low anxiety have used emotion– focused coping style more frequently than the girls with type B personality and high anxiety. Depression has no significant influence on emotion– focused coping style among adolescent girls.
