The Ways of Coping instrument: reliability and temporal stability for a sample of employees
1Department of Managerial Sciences, University of Nevada, Reno 89557- 0016.
Abstract:
Convergent support is demonstrated for the use of seven empirically derived scales of the Ways of Coping instrument developed by Lazarus and his colleagues. While the instrument is widely used, until now the internal consistency of the coping measures and stability of the factor structure have yet to be shown for a sample of employed adults. While type of job and type of coping incident reported are not dependent, analysis indicates that work and nonwork groups differ across several coping dimensions. Research implications and directions are addressed.
