Ethnic differences in early adolescents' coping with school stress.
Three groups of early adolescents were compared on the prevalence and stressfulness of school-related events experienced during the transition to seventh grade, as well as on their individual coping behavior and the availability, extent, and type of social support they could mobilize. Implications for the development of intervention programs targeting minority adolescents are discussed.
