Abstract
Understanding family relationships is one of the key conditions for a better understanding of the individual and his essential determinants. The quality of family interactions and the family atmosphere determine some essential characteristics of an individual, such as the active or passive way of coping with stress. Actively coping with stress involves choosing strategies directly aimed at solving problems, whereas passive coping refers to, e.g., avoidance, escape to religion, imagination, etc. A study was conducted to determine the relation between the quality of family interactions and ways of coping with adolescent stress on a sample of 406 participants with an average age of 21 years. The results of the study show that the quality of family interactions significantly influences the way adolescents cope with stress, i.e. greater satisfaction with family interactions means that adolescents more frequently use problem-solving strategies to deal with stress.
