简短的RCOPE是一个有14个项目的宗教应对主要生活压力的测量。作为文献中最常用的宗教应对措施，它有助于人们了解宗教在处理危机、创伤和过渡过程中所扮演的角色。本文介绍了简要RCOPE的发展及其心理测量学的现状。该量表发展自Pargament（1997）的宗教应对理论与研究项目。这些项目本身是通过采访经历重大生活压力的人而产生的。两种主要的宗教应对形式，积极的和消极的，通过完整的RCOPE的因素分析被阐明。积极的宗教应对方法反映了一种与超验力量的安全关系，与他人的精神联系感，以及一种仁慈的世界观。消极的宗教应对方法反映了潜在的精神紧张和斗争在自己，与他人，与神。实证研究证明了简要RCOPE的正、负分量表的内在一致性。此外，实证研究还对量表的结构效度、预测效度和增量效度提供了支持。尤其是消极宗教应对子量表，已经成为健康相关结果的有力预测指标。初步证据表明，简要RCOPE可能是一种有用的评估工具，对心理干预的影响很敏感。简而言之，简短的RCOPE已经证明了它作为宗教和精神心理学研究和实践的工具的实用性。
The Brief RCOPE is a 14-item measure of religious coping with major life stressors. As the most commonly used measure of religious coping in the literature, it has helped contribute to the growth of knowledge about the roles religion serves in the process of dealing with crisis, trauma, and transition. This paper reports on the development of the Brief RCOPE and its psychometric status. The scale developed out of Pargament's (1997) program of theory and research on religious coping. The items themselves were generated through interviews with people experiencing major life stressors. Two overarching forms of religious coping, positive and negative, were articulated through factor analysis of the full RCOPE. Positive religious coping methods reflect a secure relationship with a transcendent force, a sense of spiritual connectedness with others, and a benevolent world view. Negative religious coping methods reflect underlying spiritual tensions and struggles within oneself, with others, and with the divine. Empirical studies document the internal consistency of the positive and negative subscales of the Brief RCOPE. Moreover, empirical studies provide support for the construct validity, predictive validity, and incremental validity of the subscales. The Negative Religious Coping subscale, in particular, has emerged as a robust predictor of health-related outcomes. Initial evidence suggests that the Brief RCOPE may be useful as an evaluative tool that is sensitive to the effects of psychological interventions. In short, the Brief RCOPE has demonstrated its utility as an instrument for research and practice in the psychology of religion and spirituality.
