The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) is a psychological assessment tool designed to evaluate an individual’s coping strategies in response to stress. Developed by Norman S. Endler and James D.A. Parker, it consists of 48 items divided into three primary coping styles: Task-Oriented, Emotion-Oriented, and Avoidance-Oriented coping. Respondents rate each item based on how they typically cope with stress.
The CISS helps in identifying dominant coping mechanisms, providing insights into how individuals manage stress. Understanding these coping styles is crucial for personal development and mental health, as it guides the development of more effective, adaptive coping strategies and can assist therapists and clients in tailoring interventions to individual needs.
Please note this questionnaire is for educational use only. Consult a qualified mental health professional if you need support with stress management. Managing stress in healthy ways is vital for well-being.
