Abstract

Abstract. Background: Coping is considered to have an important influence on well-being, especially in adolescent refugees dealing with a high amount of stress. In addition, gender differences in coping are a common topic for research and are often attributed to differences in socialization between boys and girls. Aims: The study aims at clarifying the gender differences in coping strategies used by non-Western adolescents. Additionally, associations with aspects of socialization, in particular Gender Role Attitudes (GRA), on gender differences are investigated. Method: Refugees from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan ( N = 106, 55% male) aged 11–18 years completed questionnaires in schools or housing facilities. Associations between gender, GRA, coping strategies, and well-being were investigated using moderation and regression analyses. Results: Gender differences found in previous literature could, in part be replicated. Refugee girls reported more anger-related emotion regulation than boys did. However, GRA did not show any connections to coping strategies. Limitations: Most limitations result from low reliabilities and possible biases due to the use of self-reports. Conclusion: The more frequent use of anger-related emotion regulation as the only gender difference replicated in this study highlights the importance of research with refugee samples to prevent over-generalization of previous results from Western cultures.

德国青年难民的应对

摘要背景:应对被认为对福祉有重要影响，特别是在处理大量压力的青少年难民中。此外，应对方面的性别差异是研究的一个共同主题，通常归因于男孩和女孩之间的社会化差异。目的:探讨非西方国家青少年应对策略的性别差异。此外，还调查了社会化方面，特别是性别角色态度(GRA)对性别差异的影响。方法:来自叙利亚、伊拉克和阿富汗的难民(N = 106，男性55%)，年龄11-18岁，在学校或住房设施完成问卷调查。性别、GRA、应对策略和幸福感之间的关系采用调节和回归分析进行了调查。结果:先前文献中发现的性别差异可以部分复制。难民女孩比男孩报告了更多与愤怒相关的情绪调节。然而，GRA与应对策略没有任何关系。局限性:大多数局限性是由于使用自我报告的低可靠性和可能的偏差造成的。结论:更频繁地使用愤怒相关情绪调节作为本研究中复制的唯一性别差异，强调了以难民样本进行研究的重要性，以防止对西方文化先前结果的过度概括。
