Coping with Stress

The Roles of Regulation and Development

  • Chapter
Handbook of Children’s Coping

Part of the book series: Issues in Clinical Child Psychology ((ICCP))

Abstract

Our goals for this chapter are threefold. Our first goal is to consider coping within the larger framework of regulation, thereby broadening our perspective to include work on aspects of regulation that are relevant to an understanding of coping but frequently have not been considered by coping theorists. A second related goal is to present a preliminary heuristic model in which the roles of various modes of regulation in the coping process are considered. Finally, we use our heuristic model as a framework for briefly reviewing the developmental literature concerning factors related to coping and regulation.
