The increasing incidence of occupational stress is recognized as a global phenomenon that is having a detrimental impact on both individuals and organizations. This study aims to identify whether men and women adopt different stress and coping processes when subjected to stress in a work context. A total of 258 workers of various professions (males = 106, females = 152) participated in the study. Results indicated that men and women differ in their stress and coping processes, forming two very distinct groups and adopting specific process models when encountering a stressful situation at work. Limitations and implications from this study are discussed.

Stress and coping in couples are increasingly conceptualized as dyadic phenomena. One tool for the assessment of dyadic coping processes in couples is the Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI), a further development of the formerly used Dyadic Coping Questionnaire (FDCT-N, Bodenmann 2000). The psychometrics of the Dyadic Coping Inventory (DCI) have been examined in a large validation study involving a total of N = 2,399 subjects. The results provide empirical evidence for the quality of the test. The theoretically postulated dimensions of dyadic coping were empirically supported by factor analyses. The internal consistencies of the total scale and the different subscales were good. The test-retest-correlation reveals that the questionnaire is sensitive for change. The construct validity is given, the criterion validity satisfactory. Furthermore cut-off criteria are presented to differentiate between couples depending on their quality of dyadic coping. The DCI is suitable for clinical research (e.g. intervention research), couples diagnostic, evaluation of couples therapy, developmental or health psychology. Zusammenfassung Stress und Stressbewältigung werden innerhalb von Partnerschaften zunehmend als dyadische Phänomene begriffen. Um dieser Sichtweise diagnostisch Rechnung zu tragen, wird das Dyadische Coping Inventar (DCI) zur Erfassung des partnerschaftlichen Umgangs mit Stress vorgestellt. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Weiterentwicklung des Fragebogens zum dyadischen Coping (FDCT-N, Bodenmann 2000). Die faktorielle und psychometrische Überprüfung erfolgte an insgesamt N = 2399 Personen. Die Ergebnisse sprechen für die Testgüte des Instruments. Die theoretisch postulierte Faktorenstruktur konnte durch Faktorenanalysen empirische Evidenz finden. Die internen Konsistenzen fielen insgesamt gut aus, die Test-Retest-Korrelationen lagen erwartungsgemäß im mittleren Bereich. Die Konstruktvalidität war ebenfalls gut, die kriterienbezogene Validität befriedigend. Weiterhin werden Cut-Off-Werte präsentiert, die erlauben, Paare nach der Güte des dyadischen Copings einzuteilen. Das DCI eignet sich gleichermaßen für klinische Fragestellungen (z.B. Interventions-forschung), Partnerschaftsdiagnostik und Therapieevaluation sowie für entwicklungs- oder gesundheitspsychologische Fragestellungen.
