This study aimed to analyse the internal structure, internal consistency, and convergent and divergent validity for the Coping Strategies Scale. We found a two-factor solution (maladaptive coping; adaptative coping) with a second-order general factor (coping strategies) that demonstrated adequate factorial structure and internal consistency for a brief nine items instrument in a sample of 211 economically active Brazilians ( = 37.07; = 13.03). The adaptive strategies factor converged with quality of life and work. It also diverged from phobia, stress, and anxiety. Maladaptive coping strategies converged with phobia, stress, and anxiety and diverged from the quality of work and life. According to the results, we found that coping strategies are a vital personal resource to overcome daily adversity, including those from the current pandemic. The present instrument may impact worldwide, offering conditions to investigate and promote mental health positive outcomes by reinforcing coping assessment during pandemics.
本研究旨在分析应对策略量表的内部结构、内部一致性以及收敛效度和区分效度。我们发现了一个两因素解决方案(适应不良应对;适应性应对),其中包含一个二阶一般因素(应对策略),该因素在211名经济活跃的巴西人样本(平均年龄 = 37.07岁;标准差 = 13.03)中,对于一个简短的九项量表展示出了足够的因子结构和内部一致性。适应性策略因子与生活质量和工作呈收敛关系。它也与恐惧症、压力和焦虑呈区分关系。适应不良的应对策略与恐惧症、压力和焦虑呈收敛关系,与工作和生活质量呈区分关系。根据研究结果,我们发现应对策略是克服日常逆境(包括当前大流行带来的逆境)的重要个人资源。本量表可能会在全球产生影响,为在大流行期间通过加强应对评估来调查和促进心理健康积极结果提供条件。
