On asking an exploratory question to the sample, (18) situations expressing the crisis experienced by the directors in their departments, and each situation has three methods to deal with it (cognitive, behavior, and avoidance).
The researcher has verified the validity of its measurement with two indicators, which are validity by presenting the paragraphs of the scale with a questionnaire on (14) arbitrators in psychological measurement and psychology, and based on their opinions the paragraphs of the scale have been modified, and the indicator of the reliability through the correlation of the degree of the paragraph with the overall degree, and the correlation of the degree of the paragraph with the behavioral component To which it belongs, and the researcher has verified the stability of the scale by a re-test method, with an average (0.49) of the crisis management scale.
