Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To address the main hypothesis, the coping style will be assessed as the primary outcome measure. This personality-related characteristic is measured using the standardized validated psychometric test procedure "Coping Inventory for Dealing with Stressful Situations" (acronym: CISS) (Kälin & Semmer, 2020; German-language adaptation of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations). The individual scores on the three scales (task-oriented coping, emotion-oriented coping, and avoidance-oriented coping) are converted into T values by using evaluation tables. This involves a classification into the Gaussian distribution of the representative sample for normative comparison (reference sample). It will be examined whether the values on the above-mentioned three scales deviate significantly from the norm (Gaussian distribution of the reference sample). T-tests are used for this purpose. | — |
