“…A higher score indicated a higher tendency to implement the corresponding coping strategy. The Brief COPE demonstrated adequate convergent validity [ 16 ], and the subscale items showed adequate internal consistencies in our sample (α = 0.79–0.84).…”

“…Coping. The Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Brief COPE) inventory was adopted to measure situational and dispositional coping responses toward COVID-19 (4-point Likert Scale) [ 16 ]. In this study, three coping dimensions were assessed: seeking social support (use of emotional support, use of instrumental support, venting, and religion, 4 items), problem-solving (active coping and planning, 2 items) and avoidance (self-distraction, denial, substance use, behavioral disengagement, and self-blaming, 5 items).…”

As the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues, engaging the public in adherence to precautionary measures for preventing COVID-19 spread or infection becomes difficult. The present study aims to extend our understanding of how illness perceptions, coping, and self-efficacy affect adherence to precautionary measures among the public. An online survey was administered between April and June 2020 to a sample of 514 Hong Kong citizens. Variables considered were illness perceptions toward COVID-19, problem-solving, avoidance-based coping, self-efficacy, as well as adherence to precautionary measures including physical distancing, limiting unnecessary travelling, and washing hands regularly with soap and water. Adjusted structural equation model showed that illness perceptions toward COVID-19 had significant direct effect on their adherence to precautionary measures (unstandardized β = 0.50, [95% CI, 0.28, 0.80], p = 0.001), and indirect effects through avoidance-based coping (β = −0.10 [95% CI, −0.26, −0.01], p = 0.016) and self-efficacy (β = −0.10, [95% CI, −0.18, −0.01], p = 0.025). These results imply that apart from emphasizing the health hazards of a novel infectious disease, an effective public health intervention and crisis communication should address avoidance-based coping and self-efficacy of the public in adherence to precautionary measures for COVID-19.

“…The fourteen coping strategies included in the Brief COPE are self-distraction, active coping, denial, use of instrumental support, substance use, use of emotional support, positive reframing, behavioral disengagement, venting, planning, humor, acceptance, religion, and self-blame. It has been translated into various languages and used in different countries [47, 48]. In this study, an eleven-factor model [47] was adopted to measure situational and dispositional coping responses.…”

Suicide is a major public health concern worldwide. This study aimed to predict the suicidal behavior of Chinese university students by studying psychological measures such as hopelessness, orientation to happiness, meaning in life, depression, anxiety, stress, and coping styles. In November 2016, a stratified-clustered-random sampling approach was utilized to select subjects from two large public medical-related universities in Shandong province, China. This sample consisted of 2,074 undergraduate students (706 males, 1,368 females; mean age = 19.79±1.39 years). The students’ major risk factors for suicide were depression, anxiety, stress, and hopelessness, and the students’ minor risk factors included orientation to happiness and coping styles (including self-distraction, self-blame and substance use). Notably, the presence of meaning in life had a positive effect on preventing suicide and acted as a protective factor, which suggests that it is important to identify risk factors as well as protective factors relevant to the target population group in order to increase the effectiveness of counseling and suicide prevention programs.

“…Embedded in the WCQ is a dichotomy of general coping dimensions: problem-focused and emotion-focused coping. Other instruments also conceptualized coping in a dichotomous manner (Tang et al, 2016), and other conceptualizations of coping have also been proposed (Doron et al, 2014; Skinner et al, 2003). These differences have led to ambiguity and lack of consensus among researchers regarding dimensions of coping and their measurement.…”

Psychometric Properties of the Brief COPE Among Pregnant African American Women

et al. 2020

This paper describes the assessment of the psychometric properties of the Brief COPE in a sample of 189 pregnant African-American women. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) tested the original 14-factor model, and exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) determined whether a reduced number of factors still accounted for inter-item covariances. The CFA replicated 13 of the 14 original factors. After deleting substance use items and allowing for correlated error across the support factors, the 13-factor model achieved an acceptable fit (CMIN/ df = 1.77; RMSEA = 0.06, 95% CI = 0.05–0.07). ESEM resulted in three second-order factors: disengaged, active, and social support coping. Factor items were summed to create subscales with good internal consistency reliability (α = .74–.89). Social support coping and active coping were strongly correlated and accounted for nearly the same variance in four different psychological/affect scales, while disengaged coping was clearly distinct.
