Coping with health problems: developing a reliable and valid multidimensional measure

Article Abstract:

The Coping with Health Injuries and Problems Scale (CHIP) was developed to identify four basic coping dimensions for responding to health problems including distraction, palliative, instrumental and emotional preoccupation coping. Data offered consistent and generalizable empirical support from different populations for the coping model assessed by the CHIP. The four CHIP coping dimensions were theoretically related to constructs that are considered important in general models of coping and health problems.

Internal and external validity of seven Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Third Edition short forms in a sample of psychiatric inpatients

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the internal and external validity of seven Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Third Edition short forms. Data were collected from a sample of 212 child and adolescent psychiatric inpatients. Two concurrent criteria, namely, standardized achievement scores and Full Scale IQ scores, were evaluated across racial, age and gender groups. Results demonstrate that two short forms provide efficient means of evaluating child and adolescent psychiatric inpatients.
