ПРЕДВАРИТЕЛНИ ПСИХОМЕТРИЧНИ ПАРАМЕТРИ НА БЪЛГАРСКАТА ВЕРСИЯ НА ВЪПРОСНИКА CISS
PRELIMINARY PSYCHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF THE BULGARIAN VERSION OF THE CISS QUESTIONNAIRE

Summary/Abstract: The article presents a Bulgarian pilot version of questionnaire Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) by N.Endler and J. Parker. The adaptation was carrying out on 134 participants, aged between 18 and 82 years, predominantly women (85%). The aim was to examine the psychometric reliability and construct validity of the CISS in a Bulgarian context. Results demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α between 0.78 and 0.89 for the scales and questionnaire). The Factor analysis using method EFA with Varimax rotation extracts almost the same three component structure as in original questionnaire. Descriptive statistics confirmed that participants predominantly used problem-focused coping strategies, while emotion-focused and avoidance coping were less common but still pretty significant. The construct validity was confirmed on the base of correlations between scales of CISS and scales of A. Antonovsky’s method SOC-29 (Sense of Coherence). Findings confirm the psychometric quality of the Bulgarian version of the CISS and highlight its potential for application in psychological research and practice.
