Abstract

Background

Specific self-efficacy for coping with stress refers to the judgments regarding the personal resources aimed at effectively facing taxing conditions. Coping self-efficacy is essential in stress-related issues as well as for increasing coping skills.

Objective

To cross-validate the psychometric properties of the Coping with Stress Self-Efficacy Scale (CSSES) among English speakers in order to complement previous findings with the original Spanish version.

Methods

A convenience, population-based sample of adult women and men from the UK answered the CSSES and another questionnaire assessing self-efficacy beliefs for the use of specific strategies for coping with stress.

Results

The CSSES showed adequate reliability and factorial and concurrent validity. Confirmatory factor analysis corroborates those results. A few weaknesses were detected and some solutions are proposed.

Conclusions

Given that the CSSES is brief and easy to use as well as adequate psychometrically, it seems to be an appropriate instrument for evaluating coping with stress self-efficacy in both research and clinical contexts.

应对压力自我效能的评估:csss的英语验证

背景应对压力的特定自我效能是指针对个人资源的判断，目的是有效地面对压力环境。应对自我效能在压力相关问题中以及提高应对技能中都是必不可少的。目的对英语人群应对压力自我效能感量表(cses)的心理测量特征进行交叉验证，以期与西班牙语原版量表相补充。方法为了方便起见，对英国成年男女进行人群抽样，分别回答了cses和另一份评估自我效能感信念的问卷，以评估他们在应对压力时使用的具体策略。结果本量表具有良好的信度、析因效度和并发效度。验证性因子分析证实了这些结果。在此基础上，提出了一些解决方案。结论cses量表具有简洁、易于使用、心理计量学指标完备的特点，在研究和临床中都是一种适合于应激自我效能评价的工具。
