This study investigated the validity, reliability and factor structure of Adolescent Coping strategies (Frydenberg & Lewis,
a          e        through multi-stage sampling method and administered the ACS and Persian version of Defense Mechanism Questionnaire (Andrews, Singh, & Bond,
  - sults based on item analysis (item-total correlation &    
!      the total) constituted a sub-scale (apathetic withdrawal) whit alpha coefficient " # $ % &   - retest coefficient for the scale were "'' & "
respectively. The result of principle component analysis (PC) and Promax rotation suggested the structure of the scale in    &&                   &(     try & anticipation, focus of the positive, denial, passive aggression, seek spiritual support, physical recreation). Goodness-of-fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis     )          of second-order factor analysis showed the model of two first order factors as adjusted (with       - djusted (with             one-factor model. The positive correlation coefficients between the factors of ACS and Defense Mechanism Questionnaire confirmed the convergent validity of the scale.
