Abstract

Emancipated foster youth face unique challenges in the context of few resources as they transition into adulthood. This investigation examined associations between resource availability and coping effectiveness in a sample of 172 emancipated foster youth (66.3% female; M age = 19.63 years; 27.5% Hispanic, 24.0% African American, 15.8% Caucasian, and 32.7% multiracial). Regression analyses evaluated main and interactive relations between resource availability and coping as related to youths’ depressive, anxiety, and substance use symptoms. Findings showed that the effectiveness of individual coping strategies was moderated by the availability of strategy-relevant resources. Youth reported increased depressive, anxiety, and/or substance use problems if they engaged specific coping strategies in the absence of strategy-specific resources. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of coping may be qualified by the availability of strategy-relevant resources. Implications for foster youth who are at heightened risk for resource deficits during emerging adulthood are discussed.

  • Grey and colleagues (2015) showed that foster youth aged 17-21 report more psychological stress (substance abuse, depression, anxiety) when they tried to use typically-adaptive coping strategies like problem-solving and support-seeking in the absence of relevant resources for that strategy.

    “For example, Grey and colleagues (2015) showed that foster youth aged 17–21 report more psychological stress (substance abuse, depression, anxiety) when they tried to use typically-adaptive coping strategies like problem-solving and support-seeking in the absence of relevant resources for that strategy, such as stable support providers or concrete resources to solve a problem.”

  • The failure of typically-adaptive coping strategies when applied in a resource-limited context may promote long-term cognitive schemas that such strategies are ineffective in general, resulting in maladaptive coping in young adulthood.

    “Further, the failure of typically-adaptive coping strategies when applied in a resource-limited context may promote long-term cognitive schemas that such strategies are ineffective in general (Grey et al., 2015; Benight & Bandura, 2004), resulting in maladaptive coping in young adulthood.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
