Anxiety, Coping, and Flow

Empirical studies in interactional perspective


Anxiety-Situations During Adolescence: Sex and Age Differences, and Cross-Cultural Consistencies

In theory and research on personality the role of situational characteristics as perceived by the individual has been emphasized (Magnusson, 1981a; Magnusson, 1982; Magnusson, 1985). Starting from an interactional perspective, Magnusson pointed to the need for more systematic and detailed knowledge concerning the perceived qualities of situations as an important determinant of individual differences in behavior. In such a model, behavior is seen as the result of a continuous and bidirectional person-situation interaction process (Magnusson & Endler, 1977). A crucial role in this process is assigned to the perceptual-cognitive system of the individual. This system determines which situations to seek or to avoid, what to expect of these situations, which elements in a situation to attend to, the appraisal of these elements, and the strategies used to cope with demands and threats (Lazarus, 1966; Lazarus, 1976; Lazarus & Launier, 1978; Averill, 1979).
