Abstract

This study aims to identify factors that influence coping strategies in troubled adolescents through a systematic literature review approach. The literature search was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley framework, and out of 550 initial articles, 14 studies met the inclusion criteria. The review results show that adolescent coping strategies are influenced by internal factors such as age, gender, optimism, locus of control, emotional intelligence, resilience, and emotional experiences; and external factors such as family support, parenting patterns, peer relationships, and environmental conditions. Troubled adolescents tend to use maladaptive coping strategies, but social support and psychological resources can increase the use of adaptive coping. These findings emphasize the importance of interventions that strengthen internal and external factors to help adolescents develop more effective coping strategies
