An Examination of the Construct Validity of Coping Dispositions for a Sample of Recently Divorced Mothers.
Zautra, Alex J.; And Others
Psychological Assessment, v8 n3 p256-64 Sep 1996
The construct validity of the assessment of coping dispositions was studied in samples of 169 and 203 recently divorced mothers assessed on 11 dimensions of coping 5.5 months apart. Results do not support coping dimensions as currently assessed and suggest a critical reappraisal of the dispositional coping construct. (SLD)
