Overview

Study finds coping self-efficacy declines in African American adolescents, highlighting maternal warmth's positive role and gender differences.

Key Points

  • Coping self-efficacy declined linearly over two years in African American adolescents, indicating potential vulnerabilities during this period.
  • Maternal warmth was positively associated with greater coping self-efficacy, while community violence exposure showed no significant effects.
  • Latent growth modeling assessed changes in coping self-efficacy across four intervals, providing a nuanced view of these dynamics.
  • Results suggest the need for culturally relevant interventions to support coping skills among African American adolescents amidst various contextual challenges.
