How social and cultural contexts shape the development of coping: Youth in the inner city as an example.
Because the patterns of coping shown by children and youth depend on the particular types and levels of stress they face, it is difficult to understand or study coping, or to promote it in interventions, unless coping is conceptualized as embedded within the overall ecology of stressful conditions, including the demands and resources that influence the use, utility, and impact of coping.
