Reliability and validity results of the Coping Behaviour Inventory, CBI, are presented in a sample of 151 alcohol dependents. This instrument is frequently used in relapse prevention treatment as a tool for therapeutic purpose. This 36 item questionnaire evaluates those coping behaviours that the alcohol dependent patients use to avoid a relapse. The internal reliability is satisfactory (alpha = 0.90). Factorial analysis showed four emergent factors (positive thinking, negative thinking, distraction, and avoidance) accounting for 44.39 of the variance, which are similar, to a large extent, with those found in non-Spanish studies. The satisfactory reliability and construct validity of the Spanish version of the CBI confirms that it is adequate for assessment and clinical purposes.References
