Coping with Harassment Questionnaire
The Coping with Harassment Questionnaire (CHQ) is a self-report questionnaire that measures women’s strategies for coping with sexual harassment. The CHQ consists of 50 items and is measured on a 5-point Likert-style scale, where participants rate items on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 = Never to 5 = Always. The questionnaire includes both internally- and externally-focused coping strategies.

The validity and reliability of the CHQ have been studied, and it was found to be a valid and reliable measure. Janjua et al. (2020) conducted a study to determine the CHQ’s psychometric properties’ validity and reliability. Participants included women aged 18 and older with work experience. The results of the study found that the CHQ had good internal consistency; the overall Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.90, indicating excellent internal consistency.
The test-retest reliability of the CHQ was also high, indicating that it produces consistent results. The correlation coefficient between the test and retest scores for the CHQ was 0.78, indicating a strong and significant correlation between the two scores.
In conclusion, the Coping with Harassment Questionnaire (CHQ) is a valid and reliable measure in assessing women’s strategies for coping with sexual harassment. Its reliability and validity make it a suitable tool for use in research, advocacy, and clinical settings in Pakistan.
