Hi,
I need a short scale for measuring coping strategies and problem solving skills of children ages 10 to 18.
Dear Mykolas,
Check this link out:

Does the scale need to be self-report, or could it be informant-based?
We have used a coping and problem solving scale with a sample of children ca. 9.5 years of age (Wills et al., Psych of Addictive Behaviors 2007 et seq).
If you're interested give me a buzz on email.

Hello,
below two example:
SSKJ 3-8 (2th to 8th graders)
Eschenbeck H, Und C, Meier S. Media use as a coping strategy for children and adolescents: An addition to the SSKJ 3-8. Zeitschrift Fur Gesundheitspsychologie [serial online]. 2010.;18(4):183-189. Available from: Social Sciences Citation Index, Ipswich, MA.
Self-Report Coping Measure (4th–6th graders)

I always liked the Coping Scale by Marian Blank, but it is observational, not self report. However, it is appropriate for young children.
