the contribution of perceived social support from family and peer to school-related stress coping styles among 12^th grade students

Studies show that adolescents experience stress, one type of which is academic stress. To handle the problems of academic stress, they need to be able to do adaptive coping, which is described as active and internal coping. Studies show that the ability to cope with stress correlates with how much social support adolescents receive from their families and peers. The goal of this study is to identify the contribution of social support on adolescent coping styles to school-related stress for 12^th grade students. This study was conducted on 452 students between 16 and 19 years old. From the data obtained, this study found that perceived social support from family contributes to active coping, and similarly, perceived social support from friends contributes to active coping. Meanwhile, perceived social support from family and friends does not contribute to internal coping. From the study results, we can conclude that perceived social support from friends and family contributes to active coping. So, it is best for family and friends to provide social support to help adolescents cope with their school-related stress.
