Consider this: a 100 calorie snack - pack
of Oreo cookies may only be 100 calories but it clearly leaves
something to be desired when it comes to nourishing your body and is most definitely causing more harm than good, robbing your body
of much needed nutrients and leaving behind
substances that your body can not even process.
I am sure that I'm not alone in suggesting that you
considering starting your own blog, or at least try to include
something of substance in your comments when you do post here.
The Incope (Bodenmann, 2000) is a questionnaire (5 - point scale) with 23 items (α = 0.80) developed on the basis
of the COPE (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989) measuring the following subscales such as active problem - solving («I attempt to tackle and solve the problem»), positive self - verbalization («I persuade myself that I will make it»), rumination («I ruminate for a long time and keep on thinking about the occurrence»), passivity / evasion («I wait until things change on their own, even if I might be able to do
something»), negative emotional expression («I express my feelings without
considering what this means for others»),
substance use («I consume
something that calms me down (cigarettes, alcohol, sweets, tranquiliser»)(α = 0.52 to α = 0.80).
