TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Relationship of Anger, Stress, and Coping With School Connectedness in Fourth‐Grade Children JO - Journal of school health A1 - Rice, Marti A1 - Kang, Duck‐Hee A1 - Weaver, Michael A1 - Howell, Carol C. SP - 149 EP - 156 VL - 78 IS - 3 N2 - Background:  High trait anger and stress, ineffective patterns of anger expression, and coping are risk factors for the development of disease and negative social behaviors in children and adults. School connectedness may be protective against negative consequences in adolescents, but less is known about this in school-aged children. The purposes of this study were to characterize relationships between trait anger, stress, patterns of anger expression, resources for coping, and school connectedness and to determine if race and gender moderate these relationships in elementary school–aged children.
