This study aimed to develop a comprehensive and representative measure of youths' dispositional coping. A sample of 450 youth, aged 10 to 16 years old, were recruited from public and private schools. The majority of the sample consisted of African American and Caucasian youth. After initial item generation, pilot testing, and item elimination, exploratory factor analyses resulted in a 44-item coping measure with a 3-factor solution (Diversion, Ameliorative Coping, and Destructive Coping). Internal consistency analyses indicated strong reliabilities (all coefficient alphas above .85) for the three scales and the composite score across races. Preliminary validity data confirmed that Diversion is the most adaptive coping factor and Destructive Coping the most maladaptive. These preliminary results indicate that the Youth Coping Responses Inventory presents a promising new measure of youths' coping.
本研究旨在开发一种全面且具有代表性的青少年特质应对方式度量工具。从公立和私立学校招募了 450 名 10 至 16 岁的青少年作为样本。该样本主要由非裔美国人和白种人青少年组成。在初始项目生成、试点测试和项目剔除后，探索性因素分析得出一个由 44 个项目组成的应对方式度量工具，具有 3 个因子解决方案（转移、改善应对和破坏应对）。跨种族的三个量表和综合得分的内部一致性分析表明具有很强的可靠性（所有系数阿尔法值均高于.85）。初步有效性数据证实，转移是最适应的应对因素，破坏应对是最不适应的应对因素。这些初步结果表明，青少年应对反应量表提供了一种有前途的新的青少年应对方式度量工具。
