Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Health
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Gender differences in coping strategies necessitate tailored interventions for adolescents.
  • Cognitive-behavioral stress management training (CBT) is a recognized approach for youth mental health.
  • School-based programs offer accessible platforms for delivering mental health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the acceptance of a newly developed, school-based, gender-specific cognitive-behavioral stress management training for adolescents.
  • To obtain preliminary data on the effectiveness of this gender-tailored program.
  • To investigate intervention effects on coping mechanisms separately for adolescent girls and boys.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving 35 girls and 45 boys (5th and 6th grade) utilized a within-subjects design.
  • The study included a no-treatment control period, an intervention period with six school-based sessions, and a follow-up period.
  • Coping strategies were analyzed separately for each gender to assess short-term and mid-term intervention effects.

Main Results:

  • Girls demonstrated short-term improvements in minimization and relaxation coping.
  • Boys showed short-term and mid-term gains in relaxation coping.
  • Boys also exhibited a short-term decrease in externalizing coping behaviors.

Conclusions:

  • The gender-specific cognitive-behavioral stress management training shows promise for improving adolescent coping skills.
  • Tailoring interventions to gender can yield differential benefits in stress management for adolescents.
  • Further research is warranted to refine and validate gender-specific modifications for broader implementation.
