Summary/Abstract: This study aims to test whether children with diverse frequency of school anxiety differ in coping strategies and whether the general self-efficacy moderates the relationship between school anxiety and coping strategies. 105 children aged 10–13 were examined with the Anxiety School Questionnaire by L. Czyżniejewska and G. Kopinke; the Self-Efficacy Scale by Z. Juczyński; and JSR-Questionnaire by Z. Juczyński and N. Ogińska-Bulik. The results show that children with higher frequency of school anxiety more often use emotional strategy to cope with stress. The moderating effect of the general self-efficacy on the relationship between school anxiety and coping strategies is not significant.
