Abstract
This study focused on the interplay between self-beliefs and coping strategies chosen by socially vulnerable adolescents to deal with risk situations. Participants were 25 sheltered male adolescents, aged from 15 to 18 years old, from Southern Brazil. Instruments were the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Piers-Harris Self-Concept Scale, the Bandura Self-Efficacy Scale for Children and Adolescents, and a semi-structured interview. Results show positive scores for the whole sample, and seven case studies were developed with higher and lower scoring individuals. The self-beliefs help to determine how much adverse is a particular situation and defining the coping process considering available resources.
