Religious coping methods are ways of understanding and dealing with negative life events that are related to the sacred. A total of 350 Puerto Ricans participated in this exploratory and psychometric study. The results indicated that the scale has a two-factor structure. These factors were denominated internal strategies and external strategies. A total of 12 items complied with the criteria of discrimination and presented appropriate factorial loads (six items per factor). The reliability index of the scale was of .95 (Cronbach’s alpha). These results suggest that the IEAR has the potential to measure this construct among Puerto Rican adults. Likewise, the IEAR will advance further research of religious coping in Puerto Rico and Latin America. El presente estudio analiza las propiedades psicométricas del Inventario de Estrategias de Afrontamiento Religioso (IEAR) en una muestra de adultos puertorriqueños. El afrontamiento religioso se define como las diferentes formas de entender y manejar los eventos negativos de la vida que guardan relación con lo sagrado. Un total de 350 puertorriqueños participaron en este estudio de carácter exploratorio y psicométrico. Los resultados confirmaron que la escala posee una estructura de dos factores. Estos factores fueron identificados como estrategias internas y estrategias externas. Un total de 12 reactivos cumplieron con los criterios de discriminación y cargas factoriales apropiadas (seis reactivos por factor). El índice de confiabilidad alfa de Cronbach de la escala fue .95. Estos resultados sugieren que el IEAR tiene el potencial para medir este constructo en adultos puertorriqueños. Además, la IEAR permitirá el avance de nuevas investigaciones sobre el afrontamiento religioso en Puerto Rico y América Latina. Facultad de Psicología.
