| Sumario: | Currently, the study of religious coping is one of the main lines of research in psychology of religion. Since there is a lack of instruments in the Argentinean context, this study aims to adapt and validate the Brief Religious Coping Scale (B-RCOPE), one of the most widely used techniques for empirical evaluation. 200 students of both genders from secondary catholic schools in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires participated in this study.According to our results, confirmatory factor analysis presents an adequate fit to the data, similar to those reported in other studies. Internal consistency was acceptable for both positive and negative coping. Results indicate that B-RCOPE has adequate psychometric characteristics for use within an Argentinean context. |
