The WCQ is one of most frequent instruments in the coping assessment field, but its factor validity has not been established as yet. The present study tries to replicate the eight-factor solution proposed by the authors and to evaluate its validity in relation to a measure of burnout. The parallel analysis of 222 protocols advise for retaining six factors, while this study intended to replicate the eight factors. A comparison between both structures (this study’s and that advocated by the WCQ) reveals some differences. The reliability of the factorial solutions has to be high. The external validity in relation with burnout is very low. Finally, the content and construct validity of the scale are questionable and consequently advise against the use of WCQ.
