These include focusing on the cognitive processing of the trauma (the \u201cTrauma Focus\u201d subscale) and overcoming the trauma (the \u201cForward Focus\u201d subscale). The key advantages of the PACT scale include an emphasis on perceived self-competence, the absence of the \u201cflexibility\/rigidity\u201d dichotomy, and moderate correlations with distress that confirm discriminative validity.\r\nAIM: To adapt the PACT scale for the Russian population and conduct a psychometric assessment of its Russian-language version.\r\nMETHODS: The adaptation procedure included direct and reverse translations of the PACT scale and expert assessment of their quality. To validate the adapted version of the PACT questionnaire, a survey was conducted involving adults who had experienced at least one potentially traumatic event (with assessment according to the Life Events Checklist for DSM-5). The sample was made up of civilians and employees of emergency services (firemen, rescue workers, physicians, psychologists). The psychometric assessment included a check of the factor structure, assessment of sex, age, occupation, and post-traumatic status invariance, as well as assessment of internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The International Trauma Questionnaire and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 were used to test convergent validity.\r\nRESULTS: A psychometric assessment of the adapted version of the PACT scale was conducted with 1,054 respondents (56% male) with a mean age of 37.2 (standard deviation 9.54) years. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the two-factor structure of the scale, complete invariance by age and partial invariance by sex, occupation, and post-traumatic status. The reliability coefficients (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 and McDonald\u2019s \u03c9) showed good values for the \u201cTrauma Focus\u201d subscale (\u03c9=0.810, \u03b1=0.806) and the \u201cForward Focus\u201d subscale (\u03c9=0.896, \u03b1=0.893). The test-retest reliability was partially confirmed. The convergent validity of the adapted version of the PACT scale was confirmed: symptoms of distress and post-traumatic stress were negatively correlated with the score on the \u201cForward Focus\u201d subscale and positively correlated with the \u201cTrauma Focus\u201d score.\r\nCONCLUSION: The Russian-language version of the PACT scale is valid, reliable, and can be used to assess the perceived ability to cope with trauma for research or counseling purposes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17816\/cp15628","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,17]],"date-time":"2025-09-17T09:12:56Z","timestamp":1758100376000},"page":"5-22","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17816\/crossmarkpolicy2018","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The perceived ability to cope with trauma scale: a Russian-language adaptation"],"prefix":"10.17816","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1585-3084","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tatiana A.","family":"Shmarina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HSE University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5347-0231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nikita V.","family":"Chernov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental-health clinic No. 1 named after N.A.
