The aim of this study was to analyze the possible relationship between coping strategies, stress and psychological disorder (depression) in children. Included 206 children from primary school to which they applied three tests. The results indicated that for psychological disorder children present moderate depression; for stress children are moderately stressed; and for coping strategies children sometimes have coping strategies. Low positive significant correlations were found among the main variables. Finally analyzed if girls and boys differ in the measured variables, finding only that girls are located in moderately stressed and boys are not stressed.

Keywords : Stress; coping strategies; depression; infants; discriminant analysis.
