Description
Summary:Previous research using adult subjects suggests that social interest affects an individual's coping resources. The purpose of this research was to examine empirically the relationship of social interest and coping skills in young children. Data collected from 127 elementary students were used to test a structural equation model that examined the relationship between children's social interest and their coping resources. The empirical data supported the hypothesized theoretical model. Implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
