The Emotional Approach Coping Scale is frequently used to assess coping, which consists of emotional processing and emotional expression. The present aim was to examine the psychometric properties of this scale by utilizing two independent samples: university students (n = 481) and community members (n = 284). Based on goodness-of-fit indices in confirmatory factor analysis, a two-factor model yielded significant findings in these samples. The results of multi-group analysis revealed that the theoretical structure of the dispositional Emotional Approach Coping Scale was the same for men and women. In addition to sufficient internal consistency and test-retest reliability, the relationships between the Emotional Approach Coping Scale and five conceptually related measures (coping styles, positive affect, negative affect, depression, and trait anxiety) demonstrated concurrent validity. Furthermore, the present study provides a map of emotional approach coping styles in a non-Western culture.
情绪应对方式量表经常被用于评估应对方式,它由情绪处理和情绪表达组成。本研究旨在通过两个独立样本:大学生(n = 481)和社区成员(n = 284)来检验该量表的心理测量学特性。基于验证性因素分析中的拟合优度指标,一个双因素模型在这些样本中得出了显著结果。多组分析结果表明,特质情绪应对方式量表的理论结构在男性和女性中是相同的。除了具有足够的内部一致性和重测信度外,情绪应对方式量表与五个概念上相关的测量指标(应对方式、积极情绪、消极情绪、抑郁和特质焦虑)之间的关系证明了其同时效度。此外,本研究提供了非西方文化中情绪应对方式的图谱。
