Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Revised Multidimensional Coping Scale(MCS-R) in university student who attended smoking cessation group therapy. Data were collected from 198 university students. Construct validity using exploratory factor analysis were conducted and convergent validity using Resilience scale, Patient Health Questionare-9(PHQ-9) were conducted. A Principal components analysis with varimax rotation and Kaiser normalization identified a thirteen-factor accounting for 69.7% of the variance in scores. Also, the internal consistency(0.66-0.94) and test-retest reliability was adequate(0.44-0.85) in all subscales of the MCS-R. The MCS-R has adequate psychometric characteristics so it can be used to verify.
