Osecká, Lída ; Macek, Petr ; Řehulková, Oliva
The presented study is oriented to the description of relationships between adolescent coping strategies in family context and self-self variables. A sample of 316 respondents (132 girls, 184 boys, aged from 16-19) completed a survey including invetories regarding an using of different coping strategies in their own family environment. Also, both self variables, self-efficacy and self-esteem, were derived from relevant items of scales. Results did not confirm all our presumptions: Self-efficacy is mainly related to the non-expression of negative emotions (as a coping staretgy), less important predictor (but also significant) is an active rational coping. Social support is positively related to self-efficacy in girls only. In regard to boys, this relationship is negative. Self-esteem is positively related to the non-expression of negative emotions in boys, the active rational coping is significant predictor of self-esteem in girls.

Comments to research in content of self and identity
Macek, Petr ; Osecká, Lída
Self and identity research is connected with many specific problems.They are related not only to different theoretical frameworks and to terminological difficulties. A main specifity is based on the fact, that information about self-system and identitty can be obtained only from subjective presentations and statements of respondents. There are no criteria of external validity. All other human characteristics (temperament, cognitive dimensions, perceptions and evaluations from others, communication) caan be considered as determinants of self-system and identity. However, they do not offer direct information about a content of identity and self. On the other hand, not all subjective statements regarding self are relevant for self-system and identity. Ouur contribution discusses some possibilities and difficulties of quantitative and qualitative research in this matter.
