5065.4 Life events and coping in adolescence: Differential aspects, M. Forns, Universidad de
Barcelona, Spain
They are analysed the life events related by adolescents (from 12 to 16) as causing them distress,
in the last 12 month. The appraisal of problems and the strategies used to face the stress are also
analysed. Some differences in the use of strategies can be connected to the age, sexes,
psychopathological behaviour and personality factors. The weight of psychopathological
syndromes and personality factor on the use of strategies and, the opposite, the role of strategies
on psychopathology and personality factor, are discussed. The increase of emotional discharge,
between the avoidance strategies, is specially studied due to the relation of such strategy with
psychopathologic syndromes.

The main objective of the present study is to evaluate the empathy like source of the prosocial
behavior and like inhibiting of the aggressive behavior. The evaluation is focused in the childhood
and the adolescence and tries to conclude the gender differences at both phases of the lifespan, as
well as the function of the empathy throughout the development. The instruments used are: the IRI,
(Davis, 1983); the PROM (Carlo et al., 1992); the PBS (Caprara & Pastorelli, 1993); the AS
(Caprara & Pastorelli, 1993), and the EIS (Caprara & Pastorelli, 1993).
5065.6 The effect of mood induction on the symbolic play behaviour of 3-to-5-year old
depressed and non deressed children, E.E.J. de Bruyn, A.M. Lous, C.A.M. de Wit, J.M.
Riksen-Walraven, University of Nijmegen, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
The study examined whether introduction of a negative mood condition would affect the narrative
play behaviour of depressed young children more than a positive or neutral mood. To test this
hypothesis, 30 depressed, 30 non-depressed clinical and 30 non-depressed non-clinical children
were asked to complete four standardised story beginnings, while playing with dolls representing
the child’s family. Narratives were coded using exclusive categories for manipulative play,
symbolic play, and various categories of non-play behaviour. Particularly when a sad mood was
introduced, depressed children were found to show less symbolic play and more fragmentation of
