Objetivo general: determinar la relación entre los estilos de afrontamiento y el bienestar psicológico en adolescentes de un colegio estatal de Lima Metropolitana. Objetivo específico: comparar ambas variables según sexo. Método: la muestra estuvo conformada por 286 adolescentes entre 14 y 17 años de edad (M=15.50; DE = 0. 987), de los cuales el 48.3% son mujeres y el 51.7% son varones. Se aplicó el inventario Escalas de Afrontamiento para Adolescentes (ACS Lima; Canessa, 2002), original de Frydenberg y Lewis, y el Cuestionario de Bienestar Psicológico para jóvenes BIEPS-J (Cortez, 2016), original de Casullo y Castro-Solano. Se observó adecuada validez y confiabilidad para los puntajes de ambos instrumentos. Resultados: se estableció relación directa, moderada, con tamaño del efecto moderado entre el afrontamiento centrado a la emoción y a los otros y el bienestar psicológico. También se encontró una relación directa, débil y con tamaño del efecto mínimo entre el Afrontamiento centrado en el problema y el bienestar psicológico. Finalmente, se encontró una relación inversa, débil y con tamaño del efecto mínimo entre el afrontamiento poco funcional y el bienestar psicológico. Además, existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas en afrontamiento y bienestar psicológico según sexo, siendo los hombres quienes puntúan más alto en afrontamiento centrado a la emoción y a los otros, y bienestar psicológico, mientras que las mujeres puntúan más alto en afrontamiento poco funcional. / Main objective: to determine the relationship between coping styles and psychological well-being in adolescents from a public school in Metropolitan Lima. Specific objective: to compare both variables according to sex. Method: the sample consisted of 286 adolescents between 14 and 17 years of age (M = 15.50; SD = 0. 987), of which 48.3% are women and 51.7% are men. The inventory Coping Scales for Adolescents (ACS Lima; Canessa, 2002), original by Frydenberg and Lewis, and the Psychological Well-being Questionnaire for young people BIEPS-J (Cortez, 2016), original by Casullo and Castro-Solano. Adequate validity and reliability were observed for the scores of both instruments. Results: a direct, moderate relationship with a moderate effect size was established between emotion and others-centered coping and psychological well-being. A direct, weak, and minimal effect size relationship was also found between problem-focused coping and psychological well-being. Finally, a weak, inverse relationship with minimal effect size was found between poorly functional coping and psychological well-being. In addition, there are statistically significant differences in coping and psychological well-being according to sex, with men scoring higher in coping focused on emotion and others, and psychological well-being, while women score higher in non-functional coping. / Tesis

This research study determined the relationship between personality, as measured by the Myers and Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and sense of coherence and learned resourcefulness. The study was conducted among one hundred technical workers within the context of organizational transformation and the ability to cope with resulting stress. Data was collected by means of the Myers and Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Orientation to Life Questionnaire (OLQ) and the Self-control Schedule (SCS). The research found that sense of coherence can be predicted at a 5% significance level, while learned resourcefulness cannot be predicted. Extraverts, sensers, thinkers and judgers seem to cope better with stress-provoking demands. The respective personality types probably make use of different coping mechanisms under the same circumstances. Personality type seems to predict sense of coherence, but factors other than personality type could have an Influence. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.Comm. (industrial Psychology)
