The 21-item Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations-Situation Specific Scale (CISS-SSC; Ender & Parker, 1999) was administered to assess the ways individuals react and cope with a specific situation. The instrument is composed of three seven-item subscales assessing three types of coping: task-oriented coping (e.g., analyze my problem before reacting); emotion-oriented coping (e.g., become very upset); and avoidance coping (e.g., visit a friend). Participants were asked to complete the CISS-SSC based on their reaction to the most stressful encountered over the past 4 weeks identified in PCCEA-Part A. Responses were scored on a five-point Likert scale (1 = not at all, 5 = very much). Higher scores on each of the subscales indicated greater use of the particular coping style. The CISS was constructed on both clinical and non-clinical samples and has demonstrated high reliability and validity (McWilliams, Cox, and Enns, 2003). At baseline, the mean score for the Task Scale was 22.21 (SD = 5.77), for the Emotion Scale was 22.43 (SD = 7.62), and was 17.96 (SD = 6.48) for the Avoidance Scale. There were no gender differences in engaging in task coping and avoidance coping; however, females demonstrated significantly greater reliance on emotion-oriented coping styles relative to males [t(92) = 2.06, P b .05]. All CISS-SSC scales demonstrated adequate reliability (α = .746–.868).
