This study validates scales for emotional approach coping, identifying emotional processing and expression as key factors. These scales reliably predict adjustment to stress, supporting functionalist emotion theories in coping research.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Emotional Regulation
  • Coping Mechanisms

Background:

  • Coping strategies are crucial for psychological adjustment.
  • Emotional approach coping involves acknowledging and understanding emotions.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the nuances of emotional coping.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate psychometric scales for assessing emotional approach coping.
  • To identify distinct factors within emotional approach coping.
  • To examine the predictive validity of these scales in relation to stress adjustment.

Main Methods:

  • Four studies utilized undergraduate samples, young adults, and their parents.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were employed.

  • Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent/discriminant validity, and interjudge reliability were assessed.
  • Longitudinal and experimental designs were used to test predictive validity.

    • Main Results:

    • Two distinct factors of emotional approach coping were identified: emotional processing and emotional expression.
    • The developed scales demonstrated high internal consistency and reliability.
    • Scales showed strong convergent and discriminant validity.
    • Emotional approach coping scales successfully predicted adjustment to stressful situations.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides psychometrically sound scales for measuring emotional approach coping.
    • Emotional processing and expression are key components of effective coping.
    • Findings support the application of functionalist emotion theories to coping.
