LUCA, Luana; PORTO NORONHA, Ana Paula; FERRARESI RODRIGUES QUELUZ, Francine Náthalie y ANGELI DOS SANTOS, Acácia Aparecida. New validity evidence for the Coping Strategies Inventory. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, e2319. Epub 15-Sep-2020. ISSN 1688-4094. https://doi.org/10.22235/cp.v14i2.2319.
The aim of the present study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Coping Strategy Inventory (CCI), through validity evidence based on the internal structure and relationship with other variables (character strengths). Participants were 927 college students, with an average age of 26 years (SD= 7.7) and most of them female. All responded to the Coping Strategies Inventory and the Character Strengths Scale (CSE). After analyzing the data, a new factorial organization with four factors, from the initial eight, is suggested. The factors are: Positive Reappraisal (α= .79), Distancing and Acceptance (α= .79), Social Support (α= .67) and Confrontation and Problem Solving (α= .86). The CCI scores correlated with the CSE scores, showing that the new factorial structure found presents validity evidence based on relationships with other variables. The results are discussed in the light of the literature.
