From the author: This study examined relationships among perceived stress, self-esteem, acculturation, and gender with the coping response of 472 Mexican American adolescents aged 14 to 16 years. Subjects were drawn from a predominantly Mexican American population located in the Lower Rio Grande Valley region of Texas. Data were collected through a self-report instrument consisting of perceived stress, acculturative status, self-esteem, and coping strategy scales. Subjects reported relatively high perceived stress levels, low acculturation, and moderate self-esteem scores with no significant gender differences. Analysis revealed self-esteem as most predictive of a more effective overall coping response. Results suggest Mexican American adolescents possessing high self-esteem are less likely to encounter damage to their sense of self when confronted with stressors, thus allowing for productive coping.
