“…The validity of the APS-R has been explored in several culturally diverse populations, and translated to various languages including Chinese, Asian, Indian, African American, and Turkish samples (e.g., Aydin;2013;Yang et al, 2007;Mobley, Slaney, & Rice, 2005;Slaney, Chadha, Mobley, & Kennedy, 2000;Slaney, Mobley, Trippi, Ashby, & Johnson, 1996;Ulu, 2007;Ulu, Tezer, & Slaney, 2012;Wang, Puri, Slaney, Methikalam, & Chadha, 2012;Wang, Slaney, & Rice, 2007;Wang, Yuen, & Slaney, 2009). Further, a short version of the scale that includes 8 of its items and represents standards and the discrepancy was tested and found to have similar characteristics (Rice, Richardson, & Tueller, 2014).…”

The goal was to evaluate the construct and predictive validity of the Arabic version of APS-R and check its invariance across genders and the English version supplied by one of the measure authors. We used its translated Arabic version, and measures of PTSD, complex PTSD (CTD), depression, and existential annihilation anxiety (AA), in a sample of 620 students from two Egyptian Universities. We conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the APS-R's construct validity and zero-order correlation, curve estimation regression to test its predictive validity, and Multigroup invariance analysis to check its invariance between languages and genders. The three-factor model did not fit well which made its structural validity questionable. However, the model fitted well for each dimension separately. The results indicated that striving for standards and order, and self-discrepancy are distinct measures, and each has good construct and predictive validity. Order and standards predicted linearly and non-linearly lower PTSD, CTD (post-cumulative trauma disorders), depression, and AA. Self-discrepancy predicted linearly and non-linearly higher depression, PTSD, CTD, and AA. The non-linear models accounted for more variance than the linear models. While the measures were strongly invariant across genders, they were partially invariant across the English and Arabic samples.

In this research, coping with stress scale was developed by utilizing Turkish proverbs. Data were collected in 2012 from 157 participants whose age average is 35,58, and have at least a bachelor's degree. As a result of analyzing data through Explanatory Factor Analysis, the scale consists of 36-items and three factors were obtained. The factors (components) are titled as 1) Inclination Religion, 2) Optimism, and 3) Acquiring Power. Also, in order to determine the relationships between CSSTP and personality type, Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) and Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R) were utilized. The examination of data showed that there are significant positive correlations between all factors of the CSSTP and only extroverted factor of the FFPI. There are significant relationships in a positive direction and at low and medium levels between the religious inclination factor of the CSSTP and all factors (high standards, dissatisfaction, and discrepancy) of the APS-R. According to internal consistency analysis, Cronbach's Alpha
