Research on coping during childhood and adolescence is distinguished by its focus on how children deal with actual stressors in real-life contexts. Despite burgeoning literatures within age groups, studies on developmental differences and changes have proven difficult to integrate. Two recent advances promise progress toward a developmental framework. First, dual-process models that conceptualize coping as "regulation under stress" establish links to the development of emotional, attentional, and behavioral self-regulation and suggest constitutional underpinnings and social factors that shape coping development. Second, analyses of the functions of higher-order coping families allow identification of corresponding lower-order ways of coping that, despite their differences, are developmentally graded members of the same family. This emerging framework was used to integrate 44 studies reporting age differences or changes in coping from infancy through adolescence. Together, these advances outline a systems perspective in which, as regulatory subsystems are integrated, general mechanisms of coping accumulate developmentally, suggesting multiple directions for future research.

Dealing with feeling: a meta-analysis of the effectiveness of strategies derived from the process model of emotion regulation. (2012, background): “Developmental issues pertaining to emotion regulation have also been reviewed elsewhere (Skinner & Zimmer-Gembeck, 2007; Southam-Gerow & Kendall, 2002).”
Mindfulness and Teachers’ Coping in the Classroom: A Developmental Model of Teacher Stress, Coping, and Everyday Resilience (2016, background): “A focus on coping as an adaptive self-regulatory process reminds researchers about the complex nature of “good” coping (Skinner & Zimmer-Gembeck, 2007).”
Review Is Parent–Child Attachment a Correlate of Children’s Emotion Regulation and Coping? (2017, background): “This suggests that attachment is a stronger correlate of coping after interpersonal and intrapersonal forms of emotion regulation and coping have been fully internalized, which we have argued takes place by early adolescence (Skinner & Zimmer-Gembeck, 2007; Zimmer-Gembeck & Skinner, 2011).”
Perceived Control and the Development of Coping (2010, background): “However, at a general level, researchers also agree that every aspect of how individuals detect and respond to stress is shaped by their developmental level (Aldwin, 2007 ; Compas, 1998 ; Garmezy & Rutter, 1983 ; Murphy & Moriarity, 1976 ; Skinner & Zimmer-Gembeck, 2007 ).”
Addiction and the brain antireward system. (2008, background): “…sensitive periods that are affected by social and familial environments as well as social status, but individual responses to experiences during these periods also reflect a genetic contribution (Gunnar & Quevedo 2006) and the development of coping strategies (Skinner & Zimmer-Gembeck 2006).”
Review: The development of coping across childhood and adolescence: An integrative review and critique of research (2011, background): “…aspect of coping, an integrated and interpretable body of research detailing how coping changes across childhood and adolescence has yet to emerge (Aldwin, 2007; Compas, 1998; Compas, Malcarne, & Banez, 1992; Coping Consortium, 1998, 2001; Skinner & Edge, 1998; Skinner & Zimmer-Gembeck, 2007).”
The psychology of emotion regulation: An integrative review (2009, background): “Because the development and disorders of emotion regulation have been reviewed elsewhere (Kring & Werner, 2004 ; Skinner & Zimmer-Gembeck, 2007 ; Southam-Gerow & Kendall, 2002 ; Taylor & Liberzon, 2007 ), the present article concentrates on emotion regulation among healthy adults.”

Longitudinal Relations of Children’s Effortful Control, Impulsivity, and Negative Emotionality to Their Externalizing, Internalizing, and Co-Occurring Behavior Problems (2009, neutral): “With children about the same age as those in the present study, Stieben et al. (2007) found neurological evidence of problems in attentional control for comorbid as well as pure externalizing children (they did not study pure internalizers).”
