ABSTRACT
In the absence of instruments that allow a formal and
systematized evaluation of levels of psychological well-being of
different ethnic groups in our country, and particularly of the
Totonac group, this research sought to analyze the Coping
Response Inventory psychometric functioning for CRI- Y that
assessed Totonac adolescents^ coping strategies. The sample
was formed by 456 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, 187
women and 269 men, students of telesecundarias and
telebachilleratos in rural communities of the municipality of
Papantla, Veracruz. Mexican adaptation of the CRI-Y (Vallejo,
Osorno, Mazadiego and Segura, 2007) was used for this study.
The results indicated a good internal consistency of the
instrument both in general and on the global scale. Factor
analysis showed the same factors identified by Moos, contrary
to results reported in research conducted in Spain, United
States, and Mexico. It is important to note that the instrument
showed better performance with indigenous adolescents than
with urban adolescents, this may indicate the importance of
considering specific cultural conditions of each population that
generally are overlooked. Counting with instruments of
psychological evaluation for these ethnic groups can be useful
for the design of programs to support their overall well-being.
