Hi TIPSters: A student of mine is interested in doing some research looking at whether commuter students cope differently with general college stress than residential students. She is wanting to use an index of stressful events that is similar to the Holmes and Rahe scale but oriented towards college students (I made a post on this topic last week). However, if she uses this scale, then all she will have will be information on the types of stressors that commuters versus residential students experience. She would be able to compare types of stressors between the two groups in the sample, and she could also compare overall mean scores between the groups, but she wouldn't get a sense of how well they are coping. Does anyone have any recommendations on how this Holmes-and-Rahe-type scale could be used, perhaps in conjunction with another measure, to assess coping?
Thanks in advance! Rod ______________________________________________ Roderick D.
