Abstract
Introduction
The Multidimensional Coping Estimation Inventory COPE is an instrument to assess people's coping strategies in new or unusual situations. Despite its wide international use, studies on its psychometric properties in the Colombian population are unknown.
Objective
To estimate the Multidimensional Coping Estimation Inventory's content, structure, convergent validity, and internal consistency.
Methodology
A sample of 306 selected by opportunity was taken. The Multidimensional Coping Estimation Inventory test was applied through a structured survey through the Internet. Content validity was evaluated through relevance, clarity, precision and comprehension by judges, and subsequently a confirmatory factor analysis was applied to estimate construct validity. The internal consistency was estimated through the omega coefficient. Finally, the convergent validity was estimated with the IEEA-BRIEF.
Results
The assessment of the relevance, clarity, precision and understanding of the items had results whose average ranged between 0.90 and 1. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a structure of three factors that explained 50.3% of the total variance. For its part, the internal consistency showed a satisfactory index for the total scale (0.81).
Conclusions
The new version of the inventory has adequate metric properties and its use in the Colombian population is recommended.
