Abstract
TOUS-PALLARES, Jordi et al. CSI-SF: psychometric properties of spanish version of the coping strategies inventory - short form. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.1, pp.85-92. Epub June 13, 2022. ISSN 1695-2294. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.478671.
Background / Objective
The study establishes the psychometric properties of the Spanish adaptation of the abbreviated version of the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI-SF) published by Addison et al. (2007). The test uses a two-axis model to classify coping strategies (commitment and avoidance) and objective categories of coping (problem-focused and emotion-focused).
Method
940 people participated (62.87% women; 37.12% men) aged between 18 and 66 years (x̄ = 33.2; dt = 12.01). An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were carried out, as well as Pearson's correlation and Cronbach's Alpha to examine the reliability and validity of the Spanish adaptation of the CSI-SF.
Results
Internal consistency analysis revealed high reliability for all scales, and all adjustment indexes used to examine the CSI-SF Spanish version provided support for its use as an adequate measure of stress coping strategies.
Discussion/Conclusions
The CSI-SF scale Spanish version is a test that provides a quick and efficient diagnosis of the coping strategies used in the face of stress in different settings.
