SCS

Description

The SCS scale includes two subscales, namely, religious and nonreligious coping strategies.

These strategies enable individuals to connect with their inner selves, acknowledge their strengths, find peace despite adversity, and achieve social support, which can provide the ability to go beyond oneself through self-transcendence (Baldacchino & Buhagiar, 2003).
