Abstract

The present research aimed at analyzing the nature and structure of the concept of coping in the Iranian culture. For this purpose, preliminary data was collected from a sample of college students (n = 50) through questionnaire and interview procedures. The objective of this phase of the study was to collect information of coping strategies and believers commonly used by Iranians. In a second phase of this study, the latest version of the CRI along with Iranian coping activities was administered to Iranian college students (N=365). Maximum Likelihood Analyses (MLA) and Principal Component Analyses (PCA) were performed on subjects' responses which supported the multidimensionality of the concept of coping in the Iranian context. Confirmatory factor analyses did not replicate the CRI eight-factor solution, with Varimax or Oblique rotations. PCA on responses to the mixed scale yielded seven factors after Varimax rotation, as follows: Factor 1: Religious Coping (alpha=.92), Factor 2: Rational Problem Solving (alpha=.83), Factor 3: Cognitive Avoidance (alpha=.79), Factor 4: Positive Reappraisal (alpha=.77), Factor 5: Seeking Guidance and Support (alpha=.78), Factor 6: Seeking Alternative Rewards (alpha=.61), Factor 7: Acceptance or Resignation (alpha = .61). Although a majority of theoretically based dimensions of coping appeared to be commonly used by Iranian college students, the findings of this study have uncovered different patterns which these dimensions may form in the Iranian setting as well as a new and important dimension of coping not considered in standard coping scales. Overall the results suggest a different conceptualization of the construct of coping for the Iranian context which might have important implications for the use and further development of the CRI, and all other standard coping scales in the Iranian context.
