Psychometric evaluation of the Malay adolescent coping scale (ACS): A study of Malaysian adolescents

The aim of the study is to assess the psychometric of the Adolescent Coping Scale (ACS) that involves internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, and item-scale correlation for Short Form items. Internal consistency reliability of ACS was measured using alpha Cronbach method while tes...
