Differences in Coping Strategies Across Ages and Genders: A Systematic Review

Abstract

This review started from the general background and introduced the pressure that people of different genders and ages may face and is a part of the currently known research on gender and age. However, this part of the research was mainly conducted for students of specific majors, and the broader and general research were temporarily blank. Therefore, this study took gender and age as the subject and hoped to discuss the roles of these two factors in coping strategies, namely whether there were differences and whether they were interrelated. Then, a brief introduction was made to the research methods and data screening. After that, the definition, main categories and commonly used questionnaire methods of coping strategies were mentioned in this study. Then the empirical studies after 2000 were analyzed from gender and age, and conclusions were drawn and discussed based on the data. In the end, the author expected to provide useful information and reference for future research from the limitations of this study and inspiration for the future.
