Originally published in 1996, Adolescence: From Crisis to Coping presented a unique collaborative study of perceived problems and coping strategies of young people from a variety of socio-economic and national backgrounds. It describes the ‘culture-fair’ research model and explains results in terms of national background, gender and socio-economic, racial and minority status.
Rather than portraying adolescence as a stage of crisis, the study describes this age group as coping with multiple external crises. While adolescents are frequently similar in the issues that concern them, it is significant that their gender and socio-economic backgrounds are often better predictors of their problems and coping strategies than their national backgrounds.
The thirteen nations in which the study was carried out are: Australia, Brazil, China, Greece, India, Israel, Kuwait, Netherlands, Philippines, Russia, Turkey, USA, Venezuela.
Janice Gibson-Cline was Professor Emeritus of Developmental Psychology, University of Pittsburgh. She served as Fulbright Research Professor in Greece and the Philippines, National Academy of Science Exchange Professor in the former Soviet Union and Visiting Research Professor in the People’s Republic of China.
