Abstract	In this study, 375 adolescents from the junior high and high school of a Midwestern, semi-rural community were surveyed to investigate: (1) developmental and gender differences in strategies that adolescents use to cope with family, school, and peer stressors; and (2) the relation between coping strategies and outcome. The students were divided into three age groups and completed the Coping Responses Inventory -- Youth Form three separate times for each of three stressors that the adolescents themselves generated from the domains of family, school, and peer stressors. Subjects also rated how upsetting each stressor was perceived to be and how whether the stressor was perceived to be controllable. Results indicated that: (1) adolescents use more avoidance than approach coping strategies for family stressors and more approach than avoidance coping strategies for peer stressors; (2) the use of approach coping strategies increased from 7th to 12th grade for family and school stressors; (3) females used more of both approach and avoidance coping strategies across stressors; and (4) regardless of the type of stressor, approach coping strategies predicted more favorable outcomes and avoidance coping strategies predicted more unfavorable outcomes.
