Styles of Coping with Stress of the Artistically Talented Youth in the School Environment

Abstract

The article focuses on the issues relating to the functioning of the artistically talented youth in the school environment. Education in art schools is different than general school education. Gifted students may experience stress, the causes of which are related to, among others, fatigue, performances in front of the audience, exams or lack of support from teachers or relatives (Gluska, 2010; Kumik, 2012). Therefore, the purpose of the research was to determine the styles of coping with stress of the researched youth in the school environment and to make comparative analyses in this respect, between the musically and artistically talented young people versus unprofiled youth (attending general schools). The CISS Questionnaire was used in the research.
