WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Brief Religious Coping Questionnaire, B-RCOPE Test

Brief Religious Coping Questionnaire (B-RCOPE) Test - Symptoms and Signs

religiosity
coping behavior

This measure assesses how individuals draw on religious or spiritual resources when coping with stress, illness, or other adverse experiences. The Brief Religious Coping Questionnaire (B-RCOPE) is designed to capture both potentially supportive and potentially distressing forms of religious coping.

It includes 13 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Respondents rate how frequently they use specific coping thoughts or practices, allowing clinicians and researchers to characterize coping patterns (e.g., positive coping such as seeking spiritual support or meaning, and negative coping such as spiritual struggle, doubt, or perceived abandonment).

In clinical and research settings, the Brief Religious Coping Questionnaire (B-RCOPE) may be used to inform case conceptualization and treatment planning by identifying areas where religious coping may function as a resource or a source of additional distress.
