| Résumé: | The aim of this study was to translate and validate the psychometric properties of an Arabic Brief Religious Coping Scale. A descriptive correlational design was used to conduct the study among participants of 403 Iraqi secondary school students. The A-BRCS and both the subscales, positive and negative, had Cronbach’s alphas of .70, .86 and .82, respectively. All inter-item and item-to-total correlations for each subscale were above the recommended criteria of .30. Factor loadings of the positive subscale using oblique (oblimin) and orthogonal (varimax) rotations ranged from .72 to .86 and from .71 to .86, respectively. Factor loadings of the negative subscale using oblimin and varimax rotations ranged from .64 to .83 and from .63 to .83, respectively. The A-BRCS was found to be a valid and reliable instrument to measure religious coping among Iraqi secondary school students. |
