Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to investigate what are the psychological differences between adolescents with poor or good asthma control. One hundred and twenty one adolescents participated in the study, aged 12 to 16. Participants were assigned to one of three groups – one being a control group, with adolescents that had no medical illness, and two experimental, with adolescents either having poor or good control of their asthma. The assessment of asthma control was based on several criteria groups. It has been found that adolescents differ among each other across majority of variables – coping strategies, presence of depressive characteristics, anxiety, locus of control, as well as their perception of social support.
