The article presents the results of the Russian-language adaptation of the proactive copying questionnaire. The study involved 405 Russian-speaking respondents (age from 18 to 63 years, M = 20,5 , SD = 6,97). Based on the analysis of scales and confirmatory factor analysis, the full version of the questionnaire on the Russian-language sample showed unsatisfactory psychometric indicators. A short version of the questionnaire is proposed, which corresponds well to empirical data. Based on the regression analysis, proactive coping strategies were identified. These strategies are predictors of high life satisfaction. The greatest contribution to the level of satisfaction with life is the search for emotional support and proactive copying. On the basis of structural modeling, the relationships of coping strategies, positive and negative emotions and life satisfaction were studied. The results show that the predictors of life satisfaction are positive emotions and a person's confidence that he will successfully solve a difficult life situation.

The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between proactive coping strategies and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study used Proactive Coping Inventory to measure the severity of proactive coping strategies. ICD-11 criteria were used to study the symptoms of PTSD. Data was collected through an anonymous online survey. Results: The most significant levels of coping strategies reducing the likelihood of PTSD for people who survived a traumatic situation: high levels of proactive coping and planning. The probability of PTSD is also reduced by a high level of planning, a medium level of proactive coping, a high level of search of instrumental support seeking. Slightly reduce the likelihood of PTSD high level of preventive coping.

The article presents the results of adaptation and correction of the Russian-language version of the questionnaire “proactive copying inventory”. This questionnaire was translated into Russian by E.S. Starchenkova, but the results of its psychometric verification are not available in publications. The original Russian version of the questionnaire showed good consistency of scales (Cronbach’s alpha was greater than 0.77), but unsatisfactory compliance with empirical data by the results of confirmatory factor analysis (χ²(df) 3025.73 (1259); p <0.01; CFI 0.76; TLI 0 , 75, RMSEA 0.056). Based on the analysis of the theoretical model of the classification of coping behavior using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis, a shortened version of the questionnaire was proposed which has good indicators of compliance with the original data (χ²(df) 509,05 (307); CFI 0.95; TLI 0.94; RMSEA 0.04). The abbreviated version showed good indices of internal discriminant validity, and significant correlations were also obtained with the scales of the COPE questionnaire that were close in content.
