Cultural Correlates of Coping Strategies in Latinx Youth

by Kelly Contino
The purpose of the current study, TIES-ENLACES, is to understand the daily lives of Latino adolescents and their parents in Harrisburg, PA. Using data from this project, the effects of familism, behavioral reactivity, and emotional reactivity on adolescent coping strategies were evaluated. The need for this study was highlighted by numerous research findings showing a correlation between poor coping and depression/anxiety in adolescents, but very little research on cultural factors that contribute to coping strategies.
