Descripción:This research seeks to determine how coping strategies operate, in indigenous Kichwa Kisapincha adolescents, whose ages range from 13 to 17 years and who are in a situation of child labor, comparing them with adolescents who are not in child labor conditions and who claim to belong to the same ethnic group. 20 people participated in this research. The period of inquiry lasted from January, 2019 to January, 2021, took place in the parish of Kisapincha, Ambato canton, Tungurahua province-Ecuador. Methodologically it is a quantitative study, the instrument used was the Coping Scale for Adolescents (ACS), from the Frydenber Lewis Manual, Spanish adaptation 2000. The main findings point out, that working adolescents, mostly opt for the strategy of  physical distractions; while,  adolescents who do not perform child labor prefer the strategy  of relaxing amusements  (Dr) which is characterized by elements that describe leisure activities. It is relevant to show that adolescents belonging to the Kichwa Kisapincha ethnic group have coping strategies aimed at solving the problem and coping in relation to others, which means that they show a good level of psychological well-being, despite their socioeconomic conditions.
