Coping resources are what people bring to situations (as opposed to what they do) that enable them to deal with stressors more effectively, allow them to recover faster, or experience fewer or less intense symptoms upon exposure to stressors. The Coping Resources Inventory (CRI) measures resources in the following domains: cognitive, social, emotional, spiritual/philosophical, and physical. The CRI was completed by 126 female and 48 male college students who also rated their level of stress and physical health. Results included: (1) the low stress group students had significantly higher resources than did the high stress group; (2) female subjects had signficantly higher resource scores on the social, emotional, and spiritual scales than did males; (3) counseling center clients had significantly lower cognitive and emotional scale resources than did non-clients; (4) eating disorder clients had significantly lower scores than did non-clients on physical and emotional scales; and (5) resident advisors had significantly higher scores on the social and spiritual scales than did other college students. The CRI could be useful in identifying college counseling center clients at-risk for developing physical or psychological symptoms. Students with high resources could be trained to tutor students low in resources. Identifying resources could also be useful in planning prevention activities with groups. (ABL)
