Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations

The Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) is a 10-minute, paper-based self-report test designed to measure an individual’s specific coping styles and patterns when facing difficult situations. This 48-item questionnaire evaluates three major coping responses—task-oriented, emotion-oriented, and avoidance coping—as well as avoidance patterns like distraction and social diversion. Written for adolescents and adults, it is a B-Level product, meaning it requires specific professional pre-qualifications to purchase and administer.
