Abstract

Objective: We aimed to investigate whether adolescents employ different profiles of coping, how profiles transition, and how transitions influence adolescents' depressive symptoms, posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and posttraumatic growth (PTG).

Method: We surveyed 585 Chinese adolescents (Age: M = 15.50, SD = 1.58) 12 (T1), 21 (T2), 27 (T3) months after the Jiuzhaigou earthquake. We used latent profile analysis and random intercept latent transition analysis in identifying emergent profiles and transitions of coping, and examined their associations with depressive symptoms, PTSS, and PTG.

Results: We identified three profiles (Low Generic Copers; Problem-focused Copers; High Generic Copers) that formed seven transitions. Stable low or high generic coping and the transition from low to high generic coping were related with high distress and high growth; stable high problem-focused, low emotion-focused coping or transitions from high problem-focused coping to low or high generic coping were related with low distress and high growth; transition from high to low generic coping was related with low distress and low growth.

Conclusions: The findings highlight that adolescent employ heterogeneous coping strategies that dynamically transition over time.

应对转变模式及其与青少年创伤后痛苦和成长的关系：随机拦截潜在转变分析。

目的：探讨青少年是否采用不同的应对方式，不同的应对方式如何转变，以及这种转变对青少年抑郁症状、创伤后应激症状（PTSS）和创伤后成长（PTG）的影响。方法：对九寨沟地震后12 （T1）、21 （T2）、27 （T3）个月的585名中国青少年（年龄：M = 15.50, SD = 1.58）进行调查。我们使用潜在特征分析和随机截点潜在转变分析来识别应对的突发特征和转变，并研究它们与抑郁症状、ptsd和PTG的关系。结果：我们确定了三种类型（低通用型；问题聚焦型；高通用型），形成了七个过渡。稳定的低或高通用应对以及从低到高通用应对的过渡与高痛苦和高增长有关；稳定的高问题关注、低情绪关注或从高问题关注到低或高一般性应对的过渡与低痛苦和高成长相关；一般应对从高到低的过渡与低痛苦和低成长有关。结论：研究结果强调了青少年采用的异质性应对策略会随着时间的推移而动态转变。

期刊介绍： This journal provides a forum for scientific, theoretically important, and clinically significant research reports and conceptual contributions. It deals with experimental and field studies on anxiety dimensions and stress and coping processes, but also with related topics such as the antecedents and consequences of stress and emotion. We also encourage submissions contributing to the understanding of the relationship between psychological and physiological processes, specific for stress and anxiety. Manuscripts should report novel findings that are of interest to an international readership. While the journal is open to a diversity of articles.
