Children's strategies in coping with daily life: Does information matter?

Abstract

Abstract This article offers empirical evidence of children's information behaviors in coping with daily life experiences. One hundred thirty‐three children in Taiwan, ages 11 and 12, participated in the study. Each participant kept a semi‐structured journal for four days. The study elicited five different information behaviors related to coping: Information Seeking for Problem Solving; Information Seeking for Problem Analysis; Information Use for Escape; Information Use for a Transition; and Information Avoidance. This is an exploratory study, but it provides insights into issues related to children's information behaviors and information services in a coping context.
