Psychometric qualities of the coping response inventory-youth form.
This study examined the psychometric qualities of the Coping Response Inventory-Youth (CRI-Y) form. Participants were 376 females and 248 males (age 15.9 + 1.0 year) recruited from four rural high schools in Western Pennsylvania who completed the CRI-Y as part of the instrument battery of a longitudinal study. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to examine the factorial validity of the CRI-Y scale, and reliability coefficients were examined to address the reliability of the scale. The eight subscales of CRI-Y exhibited low to moderate reliability coefficients (from .47 to .70). The approach, avoidance, cognitive, and behavioral coping domains and total CRI-Y showed good reliability coefficients (.81, .87, .85, .84, and .91, respectively). Factor analysis of CRI-Y subscales exhibited a unidimensionality of the subscales with a one-factor solution explaining 28%-40% of the total variance.
