ADOLESCENT STRESS MANAGEMENT: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN OFFSPRING OF WORKING AND NON-WORKING MOTHERS
Abstract
This study examines the stress management strategies employed by adolescents, considering the influence of maternal employment status. Adolescents' stress levels are influenced by various factors, including family dynamics and parental roles. The research focuses on comparing stress management practices among adolescents with working and non-working mothers. Through a comprehensive survey and qualitative analysis, this study explores the unique stressors faced by these two groups and the coping mechanisms they employ. The findings provide valuable insights into the interplay between maternal employment, family environment, and adolescent stress management, contributing to a deeper understanding of how working status affects adolescents' well-being.
