GARCIA-JIMENEZ, María et al. Confirmatory factor analysis and gender invariance of the Coping Strategies Inventory in academic university stress. Clínica y Salud [online]. 2024, vol.35, n.1, pp.13-19. Epub 22-Out-2024. ISSN 2174-0550. https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/clysa2024a6.
Background:
Though the Spanish version of the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI) is frequently used, it has not been subjected to any significant re-evaluation from a psychometric perspective.
Method:
We analysed CSI data that was focused on an academic stress situation, using a university sample of 874 participants, 50% of each gender. We conducted reliability, confirmatory factor, and factorial invariance across gender analyses.
Results:
The first-order factorial structure was confirmed, showing an adequate fit for the eight-factor coping strategies model with good reliability indices. Neither the second-order (problem-centred vs. emotion-centred) nor third-order (engagement vs. disengagement) strategies showed an adequate fit. Factorial invariance for gender was confirmed.
Conclusions:
The theoretical and applied implications of the results are discussed.
