ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Coping Scale for Adolescents. Participants of this study were 1,953 adolescents: 922 boys (47.2 %) and 1031 girls (52.8 %) aged from 13 to 18 years (Mage = 14.9; S.D. = 1.35), from public schools from Mexico City: 47.7 % from junior-high and 52.3 % from senior-high. Exploratory analysis and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. The internal consistency analysis showed Cronbach alpha values between .59 and .89. Exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation generated seven factors explaining 51.58 % of variance. The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit of the data, showing a structure with seven first-order factors grouped into two second-order factors. The indicators of reliability and validity are satisfactory so the Adolescent Coping Scale (EA-A) can be used to assess coping strategies in adolescents.
