MORAN, Consuelo; LANDERO, René  and  GONZALEZ, Mónica Teresa. COPE-28: a psychometric analysis of the Spanish version of the Brief COPE. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.2, pp. 543-552. ISSN 1657-9267.

The aim of this paper was to analyze psychometric properties of Spanish version of the Brief COPE questionnaire, analyzing its factor structure. The Spanish version of the Brief COPE was named COPE-28. The sample was 260 adult people. Exploratory factor analysis with principal components method and varimax rotation was used to extract the factors; as well as a second order analysis. The KMO result showed a non adequate value; nevertheless the analysis was performed and factor analysis did not confirm the factor structure of the Brief COPE. Due to the obtained results, the validity of the COPE-28 is not conclusive.

Keywords : Coping; Brief COPE; Stress; Behavior and behavior mechanisms; Psychometrics; Stress (Psychology).
