THE INFLUENCE OF THE RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT ON THE STRESS ASSESSMENT IN TEENAGERS

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article was to highlight the influence of the residential environment in assessing stress in adolescents. It was assumed that there were differences between adolescents in the institutionalized environment and adolescents in families in terms of how they assess stress. The Melgosa Individual Stress Assessment Inventory was used applied to two groups of adolescents: adolescents from families (N = 153 subjects) and a group of adolescents from placement centers (N = 141 subjects). The results show that there are statistically significant differences between the way stress assessment for adolescents in the family environment and those in the institutionalized environment in the sense that adolescents in the family environment have better stress assessment skills than those in the institutionalized environment. The difficulties of assessing stress by institutionalized adolescents are determined by their weak anchoring in reality, the low number of interpersonal relationships and the poverty of previous personal experience.
