Abstract

This study described the construction and validation of the Coping Inventory for Prodromes of Mania (CIPM)-a newly developed instrument aimed at assessing how manic depressive sufferers dealt with their prodromes of mania. Two hundred and six subjects completed a 40-item measure of coping responses to prodromes of mania, a measure of social functioning and a mood measure. The CIPM yielded four empirically derived subscales: stimulation reduction, problem-directed coping, seeking professional help, denial or blame. All of these subscales provided good reliability and acceptably high internal consistency data. There was also some evidence of good validity of the CIPM.
