RIBEIRO, J.L. Pais e MORAIS, Rita. Portuguese adaptation of the brief resilient coping scale. Psic., Saúde & Doenças [online]. 2010, vol.11, n.1, pp.5-13. ISSN 1645-0086.
The present study intents to validate the Portuguese version of the Brief Resilient Coping Scale, named in Portuguese Escala Breve de Coping Resilient. It is a four item measure designed to evaluate an individuals tendency to cope in an adaptive way, Participants are 501 youngs, aged between 15 and 25 years (268 females and 233 males). Psychometric data exhibits low internal consistency (0.53) in comparison with the original version that exhibits higher but low values (0.68). We discuss the results of our study assuming that coping scales usually do not value classic psychometric indices for two main reasons: because coping is a variable that depends on the moment and the situation, and; because the scale includes only four items.
