Abstract

Positive Acceptance of Adversity Scale is an instrument designed to assess cognitive coping with adverse events that are accompanied by manageable emotions. This 7-item scale consisting of one factor was developed from 100 case records matching the definition of positive acceptance of adversity. Test-retest reliability coefficient of the scale, based on data from 47 undergraduates was. 79. The relationship between this scale and hope, optimism, psychological wellbeing, and the stress response were examined, in order to confirm the validity of the scale. Results of correlation analysis indicated that the score of the scale was modestly related to hope. Moreover, structured equation modeling indicated that the scale was positively associated with psychological wellbeing and negatively associated with the stress response. Moreover, optimism was negatively associated with the stress response. The validity of the scale is discussed.
