Comparison of the ways of coping with stress of university students living and not living with their family

Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare the ways of coping with stress of university students living and not living with their family.  The study sample is composed of a total of 310 people including 194 males and 116 females from Bartın University in 2015-2016 academic year. In the research, Scale of the Ways of Coping with Stress adapted to Turkish by Şahin & Durak (1995) was used. To understand whether the data show normal distribution or not Shapiro-Wilks normality test was applied and as a result of this, after the data were understood to have been suitable to non-parametric test conditions, Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis were applied to determine the significant differences. It is seen that, in the sub-dimension of “self-confident” according to the sex of the students living and not living with their families, female participants had higher ratios than the male participants. It is detected that the participants between the ages of 18 and 22 had higher ratios than the participants between other ages in the sub-dimension of “submissive”.  The participants not living with their family had higher scores than the participants living with their family in the sub-dimensions of “optimistic approach” and “applying to social support” (p<0.05). In conclusion, while the female participants are observed to have been more successful than the males in terms of their ways of coping with stress, it can be said that the participants not living with their family use the ways of coping with stress more successfully than the participants living with their family.
