A researcher conducted a content analysis of mental health coping strategies depicted in popular children's picture books. They analyzed books from two different eras (the 1990s and the 2020s) and recorded the frequency of different coping strategies portrayed by male and female protagonist characters. The results are summarized in Table 1 below.
