Coping Self-Efficacy Scale

The Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) is a 26-item assessment tool designed to measure an individual's confidence in their ability to perform effective coping behaviors when facing life challenges. It evaluates three key areas: Problem-focused Coping, Emotion-focused Coping, and Social Support Coping.

The Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) is scored by summing the ratings from each item, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater confidence in coping abilities. Scores are interpreted to assess the individual's perceived self-efficacy in managing emotional responses, mental health problems, and coping responses during stressful situations.

This concept is central to the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale, which assesses how confident a person feels in their ability to employ problem-focused, emotion-focused, and emotional support coping strategies.
