Abstract

Purpose:

To examine the psychometric properties of the Coping Behavior Inventory (CBI) among Arab students in Jordanian universities.

Methods:

A stratified random sampling technique was used to select the universities and classes from each university. The total sample size was 587 students recruited from seven universities during the academic year 2015. The structure of the CBI was analyzed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using Statistical Package for Social Science and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using AMOS software. EFA for the original CBI showed poor factors structure with low reliabilities.

Results:

EFA and CFA revealed the modified 15-item and 3-factor scale (Problem Solving, Avoidance, Stay Optimistic), with high goodness of fit indices and strong items loading.

Conclusion:

The use of the modified version of CBI with students at the university level is recommended.
