Comparative analysis of gender-related differences in frustration tolerance levels among early school-age children

Abstract

In today's world, where young children face a growing array of emotional challenges, understanding how they deal with frustration is more important than ever. Our study takes a closer look at this issue, focusing specifically on whether boys and girls handle frustration differently during their early school years. Using the Rosenzweig Frustration Test, we've delved into the heart of these gender-related differences, contributing valuable insights to the ongoing conversation about child development and emotional coping mechanisms. The findings underscore significant gender-specific variations in the mechanisms of frustration management, revealing that boys and girls exhibit distinct profiles of frustration tolerance, positing that these differences may hold profound implications for educational practices and psychological interventions aimed at fostering emotional competence.
