Self-report, situation-specific assessments of coping, such as the Ways of Coping Scale (WOC), have been used frequently in recent years. Several potential issues in the development and use of these questionnaires have been identified, including the applicability of coping items to different kinds of stressful events, the definition of the period for which Ss report coping efforts, and the meaning of the "extent" response key that is used for reporting coping items. In this study, 91 college students completed the WOC and were then interviewed about their responses; interview questions were focused on the 3 issues stated above. The hypothesized concerns about the WOC were supported. Many of the coping items were not applicable to certain kinds of stressful events. Also, how the coping report period was defined varied across Ss and the way in which the extent response key was interpreted differed across both Ss and WOC items.
近年来，自我报告式的、针对特定情境的应对方式评估，如应对方式量表（WOC），被频繁使用。这些问卷在编制和使用过程中存在一些潜在问题，包括应对方式条目对不同类型应激事件的适用性、被试报告应对努力的时间段定义，以及用于报告应对方式条目的“程度”反应键的含义。在本研究中，91名大学生完成了应对方式量表，随后就他们的回答接受了访谈；访谈问题聚焦于上述三个问题。对应对方式量表的假设性担忧得到了证实。许多应对方式条目并不适用于某些类型的应激事件。此外，被试对应对报告时间段的定义各不相同，而且被试之间以及应对方式量表各条目之间，对程度反应键的解释方式也存在差异。
