Psychometric analysis of the scale of subjectively focused strategies of the modeled diagnostic method of coping behavior
Introduction. There is the sufficient number of diagnostic methods of coping mechanisms. However, the problem of assessment in this sphere is not solved. The majority of diagnostic methods of coping mechanism were developed on the base of classical test theory. Purpose. To analyze the construct validity and reliability of the subjectively focused strategies of coping mechanisms scale.Materials and methods. 270 respondents were assessed with the help of the coping mechanisms scale. The difficulty of the scale items was calculated. The construct validity of the scale was assessed. The reliability and separation statistics were determined. Results. The measures of the difficulty of the scale items distributed in the range from 1,79 to 0,96 logit. The indices UMS and WMS had acceptable values (0,7-1,3). The index of reliability was 0,86. Conclusions. The items were balanced by the degree of difficulty. The constructive validity of the points was sufficient. The index of reliability of the method had an acceptable significance (0,86). The use of the scale let to diagnose three levels of severity of the construct.
