这项研究试图探索无法控制的慢性应激源可能导致低收入城市青少年绝望的潜在机制。特别是，具体的应对策略作为压力源和绝望之间联系的调节者和/或中介者的作用被考察。结果表明，在这个样本中，慢性的、不可控的压力源与绝望显著正相关。积极应对、分心应对和寻求社会支持的应对成为男性的调节因素，因此，对于那些报告使用更积极、分散注意力和寻求社会支持的应对策略的男孩来说，不可控的压力源与绝望的关联更高。女孩的反思性应对也有类似的调节效应。反思性应对也是女孩无法控制的压力源和绝望之间关系的中介。(C)2007年，青少年服务专业人员协会。爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
This study sought to explore potential mechanisms through which uncontrollable, chronic stressors may lead to hopelessness in low-income, urban adolescents. In particular, the roles of specific coping strategies as moderators and/or mediators of the association between stressors and hopelessness were examined. Results suggest that chronic, uncontrollable stressors were significantly and positively related to hopelessness in this sample. Active coping, distraction coping, and social-support-seeking coping emerged as moderators for males, such that uncontrollable stressors were more highly associated with hopelessness for those boys who reported using more active, distraction, and social-support-seeking coping strategies. An analogous moderating effect was found for ruminative coping for girls. Ruminative coping also emerged as a mediator of the relation between uncontrollable stressors and hopelessness for girls.
