dc.description.abstract | The aim of this research is to develop and validate a self-report measure of mindfulness
and coping, the mindful coping scale (MCS). Dimensions of mindful coping were
theoretically deduced from mindfulness theory and coping theory. The MCS was empirically
evaluated by use of factor analyses, reliability testing and nomological network
validation. The study’s participants were high school students from two high schools,
covering all streams. Further validation was obtained by correlating the MCS-subscales
with an appraisal theory-based measure of coping strategies. Results from factor analyses
supported the proposed measurement model and Cronbach’s alphas indicated good
internal consistency for the four sub-scales. Furthermore, correlations with instrument
for measuring coping were mainly in accordance with our expectations. The above
supports the validation of our instrument. | nb_NO |
