The aim of this research – to determine the relations of 14-16 years old teenagers’ stress coping strategy and learning motivation. 109 (14-16 years old) teenagers from Šeduva gymnasium, Radviliškis district, and 89 (14-16 years old) teenagers from Šiauliai city S. Šalkauskis’ secondary school participated in research. The stress coping strategies were evaluated while applying the stress coping strategy questionnaire COPE, created by C. Carver, M. Scheier and J. Weintraub (1989). Learning motivation was evaluated while applying adapted learning motivation questionnaire of E. P. Zambacevičienė and D. Janulytė (1998). The following research objectives have been set: • to distinguish the stress coping strategies of village and city teenagers; • to distinguish learning motives of village and city teenagers; • to set the relations of teenagers’ stress coping pointed to the problem with the learning motives; • to set the relations of teenagers’ stress coping pointed to the emotions with the learning motives; • to set the relations of less effective teenagers’ stress coping with the learning motives. The received results showed that in groups of respondents of city (Mean=24,91) and village (Mean=23,78) prevails the stress coping pointed to the problem (in groups of respondents prevails active stress coping strategy of city (N=89, Mean=5,97) and village (N=109, Mean=6,28)). Having compared all the biggest average values of learning motives, it is set, that in groups of respondents of city (Mean=20,53) and village (Mean=19,96) prevails internal learning motive. It is set that stress coping pointed to the problem is related to the social acknowledgement motive by tenuous direct statistical connection (ρ=0,201, when p=0,035<0,05) and to internal learning motive by tenuous direct statistical connection (ρ=0,3300, when p=0,010=0,01). Stress coping pointed to emotions is related to social acknowledgement motive by tenuous statistical connection (ρ=0,473, when p=0,005<0,01) and to negative stimulation (punishment) motive by very tenuous inverted statistical connection (ρ=0,153, when p=0,045<0,05). Less effective coping (especially alcohol, medicine usage strategy) is related to social acknowledgement motive by tenuous inverted statistical connection (ρ=0,243, when p=0,001=0,001) and to internal learning motive by very tenuous inverted statistical connection (ρ=-0,145, when p=0,041< 0,05). |
