Factor Structure of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) in Japanese Workers
Psychology, 2014
Different models of factor structure were proposed for the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) as a measure of coping style. This study confirmed psychometric properties and stability of the factor structure and differences among models for various age groups. The CISS of the Japanese version and the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL) were administered to a sample of 781 Japanese workers. Using factor analysis, three-, four-, and five-factor models were examined. Simultaneous multiple-group analysis was conducted using samples of 568 workers and 507 students. The five-factor model was more robust than the original three-and four-factor models. Reliabilities and applicability for a wide age range were confirmed. In terms of predictive validity, symptoms of somatization, obsessive-compulsiveness, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, and anxiety were positively related with Rumination coping.
Validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the Stress and Coping Inventory
Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1995
We examined the validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the Stress and Coping Inventory (SCI) among 170 Japanese college students and 234 healthy subjects. The validity and reliability of this version of the SCI in the college student group were supported by significant test-retest correlations, relatively high internal consistency coefficients, and adequate correlations with the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). AS for the healthy subject group, the reliability was supported by relatively high internal consistency coefficients, although further analyses, such as test-retest, are required. The Japanese version of the SCI appears to be suitable for use among college students.
A factor analytically derived measure of coping: The Coping Strategy Indicator.
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1990
Three stages of factor-analytic investigation aimed at uncovering general strategies that underlie the myriad specific coping responses to stress. Each stage utilized a separate, large, heterogeneous sample, yet analyses consistently revealed three fundamental strategies: Problem Solving, Seeking Social Support, and Avoidance. Over the course of studies, a short, self-report questionnaire evolved that indicates the extent to which each of the strategies has been employed in a recent stressful event. A fourth stage of study, focusing on the instrument's psychometric properties, revealed orthogonality of scales and good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity. Advantages over existing measures, as well as potential problems in the instrument, are discussed.
The Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) is the most widely used measure of basic coping responses. In Study 1, 6 different theoretical models corresponding to the various dimensions of coping as assessed by the WCQ were tested for goodness of fit using confirmatory factor analysis. College students (N = 530) completed the WCQ before a midterm exam, and their responses were the basis of the analysis. None of the coping models were good representations of the data. Study 2 aimed to derive a replicable set of coping dimensions using a series of exploratory factor analyses with the data collected in Study 1. A 4-factor model was derived and subsequently tested for its goodness of fit with another sample of 392 college students who were also preparing for a midterm exam. This 4-factor model also proved to be a poor representation of the data.

To evaluate emotional approach coping, including the dimensions of emotional processing and emotional expression, the Emotional Approach Coping Scale (EACS) is frequently used. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of situational EACS among Turkish participants (n = 557), including university students (n = 283) and community members (n = 274). The results revealed that a two-factor model showed significant goodness of fit for confirmatory factor analysis. Furthermore, multi-group comparisons based on sample groups (university students and community members) and gender groups demonstrated no significant differences between the constrained and unconstrained models. In addition to sufficient reliability of the EACS, the concurrent and discriminant validity of the scale were supported by association of the EACS with state anxiety and social desirability. The theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.

The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS;) is a self-report measure of Emotion-, Task-, and Avoidance-oriented coping. The psychometric properties of the CISS were evaluated in a large sample of outpatients with major depressive disorder (N ϭ 298). The CISS scales demonstrated good reliability and support for their factorial validity was obtained. Relationships between the CISS scales and the broad personality domains from the five-factor model of personality, as well as two measures of emotional distress, were examined. Less-adaptive coping strategies (i.e., Emotion-oriented coping) were associated with less-adaptive personality traits (i.e., Neuroticism) and with psychological distress (i.e., Depression), whereas the reverse was found regarding adaptive coping strategies (i.e., Task-orientated coping). The incremental validity of the CISS was demonstrated by multiple-regression analyses that found two CISS scales accounted for significant variance in psychological distress beyond that contributed by the demographic and personality variables.

The current investigation was aimed toward evaluating the psychometric properties and confirming the stability in factor structure of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS; Endler & Parker, 1999). An Icelandic edition of the CISS and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Scale (EPQ-R S; Eysenck, Eysenck, & Barrett, 1985) were administered to an Iceland sample of 1251 adolescents (M = 18.91 years, SD = 1.25). Similar to previous findings, high reliability for the subscales of the CISS was indicated via both internal consistency estimates and test-retest correlations. Further, mean level comparisons replicated the pattern of significantly higher levels of coping strategy use by women relative to men. Multiple group confirmatory factor analyses evidenced goodness of fit overall, and between gender groups, for the theoretically grounded three-and four-factor models of the CISS, indicating similarities across gender in item:factor relationships. Correlations between the CISS subscales and neuroticism and extraversion extended empirical support for the construct validity of the subscales. These findings speak
Purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between personality dimensions and coping styles with stress. Method was correlation study in which 300 students (150 girls, 150 boys) were selected from Malayer University. An extensive analysis was performed to assess the kind of association exist among five personality factors personality (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness) and three coping strategies (problem-focused, positive emotional-focused and negative emotional-focused). All participants were asked to complete the NEO-FFI personality inventory and the Tehran Coping Styles Scale (TCSS). Results indicated that Neuroticism was negatively correlated with positive emotional-focused coping style and was positively correlated with negative emotional-focused coping style in female students, while it was positively correlated with negative emotional-focused coping styles in male students. Extraversion was positively correlated with problem-focused and positive emotional-focused coping style in both male and female students. Openness was positively correlated with problemfocused coping styles in female students. Agreeableness was positively correlated with problem-focused and positive emotionalfocused coping styles and negatively correlated with negative emotional-focused coping style in male, while it was positively correlated with problem-focused coping style and negatively correlated with negative emotional-focused coping style in female students. Conscientiousness were positively correlated with problem-focused coping style and negatively correlated with negative emotional-focused coping style in both male and female students. Discussin: personality dimensions were associated with coping strategies.
Evaluation of an Observer Form of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2009
The present study evaluates a prospective observer form of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) by comparing the two forms in terms of factor structure, mean differences, reliability, and examining correlations between self-report and peer ratings. A total of 163 pairs of friends complete the CISS and an observer form of the CISS. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicate that for both rating forms, the four-factor solution fits better. Although self-rating data fit the theoretical model better, the peer ratings show higher reliability. The correlation between self and peer latent factors is moderate for Avoidance-oriented coping and for its subscales, but low for Task-and Emotion-oriented coping. Internal consistency coefficients for the CISS scales are high across type of rating, and a significant cross-form mean difference is found on the Task latent factor. Overall, the results provide evidence of substantial measurement equivalence between the self-rating form and the observer form, and the authors propose its use in dispositional coping research.
