Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS)
Norman Endler, Ph.D. and James Parker, Ph.D.

The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) is a 48-item measure of coping styles. Three main kinds of coping style are measured including:

• Task Oriented Coping
• Emotion Oriented Coping
• Avoidance Coping

Additionally Avoidance Coping is broken into two components:

• Distraction
• Social Diversion

Individuals who score high on Task Oriented Coping use behavioral or cognitive problem-solving techniques when confronted with stress. Emotion Oriented Copers respond to stressful situations with emotional outbursts, self-preoccupation, or fantasy. Avoidance Copers rely on social supports or distract themselves with other activities.

The CISS is administered in less than 10 minutes and scored in less than 3 minutes. The QuikScore forms include scoring stencils and norms profiles. Separate forms are available for adults and adolescents.

(The CISS computer program is no longer available.)
