Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales (F-COPES)
Source: Family Behavior SystemsDate Published: 1981Format: TextAnnotation: This scale was created to identify effective problem-solving and behavioral strategies utilized by families in difficult or problematic situations. It is based on the Double ABCX Model of family stress and considers pile-up, family resources, and meaning or perceptions. It measures 30 coping behaviors that look at two levels of interaction: Individual to family system, or the ways a family internally handles difficulties and problems between its members; and family to social environment, or the ways a family externally handles problems or demands from outside its boundaries. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
