Into an 'overall' coping index. I have never done that in my own use of the scales. There is no such thing as an 'overall' score on this measure, and I recommend no particular way of generating a dominant coping style for a give person. Please do NOT write to me asking for instructions to for 'adaptive' and 'maladaptive' composites. Insecurity– coping strategies for short – that people use to manage household food shortage. These coping strategies are easy to observe. It is quicker, simpler, and cheaper to collect information on coping strategies than on actual household food consumption levels. Hence, the CSI is an appropriate tool for emergency situations. Measures of stress and coping assessment tools designed to measure: (1) self-reported stress, (2) self-reported coping with general or varied specific stressors, (3) self-reported coping with pain and (4) observations of behavior for coping with pain.

The Coping Strategies Inventory-Short Form (CSI-SF) measures four coping strategies based on 16 items: 4 items each indicating problem- vs. Emotion-focused engagement or disengagement. Here we provide the first assessment of reliability and construct validity of the CSI-SF among hemodialysis patients across 13 countries. The Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ), which consists of 7 coping subscales, including a catastrophizing subscale. The items on the catastrophizing subscale reflect elements of helplessness and pessimism in relation to one’s ability to deal with the pain experience (i.e., “Its terrible and its never going to get any better”).

Objectives: The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) is a measurement tool for evaluating stress that has good psychometric properties. We investigated the applicability of a short-form version of the CISS in a large sample of Chinese university students.
Methods: Nine hundred and seventy-two Chinese university students aged 18–30 years (mean =20.15, standard deviation =3.26) were chosen as subjects, of whom 101 were randomly selected to be retested after a 2-week interval.
Results: The results of a confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the root mean square error of approximation of a four-factor model was 0.06, while the comparative fit index was 0.91, the incremental fit index was 0.93, the non-normed fit index was 0.91, and the root mean residual was 0.07. The Cronbach’s α coefficients for the task-oriented, emotion-oriented, distraction, and social diversion coping subscales were 0.81, 0.74, 0.7, and 0.66, respectively. The 2-week test–retest reliability was 0.78, 0.74, 0.7, and 0.65 for the task-oriented, emotion-oriented, distraction, and social diversion coping subscales, respectively. In the Chinese version of the CISS short form, task-oriented coping was positively correlated with positive affect and extraversion and negatively correlated with neuroticism; emotion-oriented coping was negatively correlated with extraversion and positively correlated with negative affect, anxiety, and neuroticism; distraction coping was positively correlated with neuroticism, extroversion, anxiety, positive affect, and negative affect and negatively correlated with psychoticism; and social diversion coping was positively correlated with extroversion and positive affect and negatively correlated with psychoticism.
Conclusion: The Chinese version of the CISS short form is satisfactorily valid and reliable among Chinese university students.
Keywords: stress, coping, factor analysis, reliability, validity, Chinese university students

Introduction

Stress and coping are difficult to disentangle. The concepts of coping were different across studies. Lyon¹ thought coping was an effort to manage threat or stress emotion. Keil² thought one had to confront events either external or internal with varying degrees of success to cope, while Khosla³ held a view that coping as process of managing internal and external needs that were exceeding a person’s resources. We chose the original concept of Lazarus and Folkman. Coping is defined as “continually changing [one’s] behavior and cognition to cope with extra needs which [are] beyond [one’s] competence.”⁴ Coping is a major factor influencing individuals’ emotional and behavioral reactivity to stress. How people can successfully cope with stress situations and the relations between different coping strategies and body–mind health have consistently attracted researchers’ attention.⁵

Research on coping has generally shown that coping behavior is multidimensional.⁶ Endler and Parker^7,8 presented an exceedingly simple way of conceptualizing coping strategies by dividing them into task-oriented coping, emotion-oriented coping, and avoidance-oriented coping, which they in turn used to establish the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). This scale comprises 48 items and has, since its development, become one of the most extensively used tools with good psychometric properties.^9–11 Task-oriented coping refers to the use of problem-solving and information seeking to change stressful situations; emotion-oriented coping is defined as attempts to reduce stress through emotional reactions (eg, self-blame, depression, and anger) or rumination; and avoidance-oriented coping refers to the use of distraction, diversion, and withdraw behaviors to avoid stress. Avoidance-oriented coping can be further divided into two sub-dimensions called distraction coping and social diversion coping. The CISS short form,¹² which comprises 21 items, was designed according to these four dimensions (task-oriented, emotion-oriented, distraction, and social diversion copings). However, so far, the psychometric properties of a Chinese version have not been established.
