| dc.description.abstract | The paper looks at the limitations and strengths of using the A cope questionnaire for measuring strategies for coping with prolonged conflict by Palestinian young people in Gaza. The scale was administered to young people between the ages of 8-17. The results show some gender differences in coping strategies. However, some items on the sub scales are not relevant for Muslim societies or in situations of prolonged conflict. The authors suggest that combining an anthropological contextual perspective and qualitative data with psychological instruments is an effective way of addressing the limitations of using a single quantitative method of assessment in non-western complex social and cultural settings. | |
