摘要:The aim of this paper was to analyze psychometric properties of Spanish version of the Brief COPE questionnaire, analyzing its factor structure. The Spanish version of the Brief COPE was named COPE-28. The sample was 260 adult people. Exploratory factor analysis with principal components method and varimax rotation was used to extract the factors; an also second order analysis was used. The KMO result showed a non adequate value, which puts in doubt the viability to realise a factorial analysis for the items that form the COPE-28; nevertheless the analysis was done, it was not confirm the factor structure of Brief COPE. With the obtained results, the validity of the COPE-28 is not conclusive.
