Factor Structure of The Social Coping Questionnaire in Czech Educational Environment

Original language description

Questionnaires are the worlds most widely used methods of quantitative research in the social sciences. They often focus on tracking abstract and intricately operationalised constructs. This is why greater emphasis is placed on their quality and efficiency. We repeatedly test their psychometric properties and, above all, focus on their validity and reliability. To do so, we use statistical procedures such as exploration factor analysis and reliability coefficients. This study focuses on exploring of factor structure of The Social Coping Questionnaire by Swiatek (2007) in the Czech educational context, specifically in the field of educating gifted pupils. This tool exists in several versions and has been tested on various samples of gifted pupils around the world. However, the results of factor analysis are not uniform. We decided to test this tool on a sample of 235 gifted pupils in the Czech Republic. We focused on the ISCED2 level of education. Our factor analysis results are not entirely consistent with the declared structure of the aplied version of the tool. The results can be influenced by translation of the questionnaire into the Czech language and its application to a specific population of gifted pupils in the region. We focus analytically on different versions of the questionnaire factor structure. At the end of the study, the results are discussed and general recommendations are made for further work with the tool in the Czech context.
