Cognitive emotion regulation has a pivotal role in determining the
emotional and behavioral problems particularly in adolescence age group.
The present study examined the role of cognitive coping in predicting the
internalizing and externalizing problems among school going
adolescents. A sample of 305 boys and girls with age range 12 to 18
years reported the use of cognitive coping strategies after having
experienced negative events or situations. Cognitive coping styles;
including ‘Refocus on Planning’, ‘Catastrophizing’, ‘Rumination’,
‘Putting into Perspective’ and ‘Self-blame’ came out as unique predictors
of internalizing problems. ‘Planning’ and ‘Putting into Perspective’
turned out to be predictors of internalizing and externalizing problems.
Girls dominantly use ‘Rumination’ and ‘Catastrophizing’ with high
tendencies for internalizing problems; whereas, boys use ‘Acceptance,
and ‘Positive Reappraisal reported higher on externalizing problem. The
study carries implications in context of adolescents’ counseling in
Pakistani cultural context.
