Coping strategies of the socially excluded
MIČKOVÁ, Barbora
The bachelor's thesis entitled The coping strategy in socially excluded is focused not only on stress from a general point of view, but also on strategies of coping with stress situations. The main goal of the bachelor thesis was to identify coping strategies in socially excluded and to find out whether socially excluded people predominantly had negative coping strategies. The research population consisted of socially excluded persons living in the South Bohemian Region. The selection of respondents was quite random and went on the field. The methodology of the thesis deals with the standardized questionnaire SVF 78, thanks to which all the data was obtained. The questionnaire contained 78 items mapping behaviors in different stress situations, respondents choosing a degree of agreement on a five-point scale. Finally, the data was transformed into 13 areas that present individual coping strategies. These areas were statistically tested in the SPSS program in relation to the established sociodemographic variables, the T-test method. Unfortunately, none of the hypotheses have been proven. Choosing coping strategies has no effect on the age of respondents, and there is nothing to suggest that women use more positive strategies than men. Research has shown that the least used coping strategy is just the negative one. The most neutral strategy has emerged, suggesting that socially excluded to better cope with a stressful situation desires help and social support. The results of the bachelor thesis can be used to compare with the results of other studies focusing on coping strategies and socially excluded persons. Further, the results of my bachelor thesis can be of benefit to future social workers who are preparing for the profession.
