Tiivistelmä	The RCOPE, developed by Kenneth Pargament, Harold Koenig, and Lisa Perez in 2000, is the comprehensive instrument for measuring how people draw on religion to cope with stress, loss, and crisis. Where earlier measures asked only whether religion helped, the RCOPE maps the many specific methods of religious coping onto a set of subscales — from benevolent religious reappraisal, collaborative problem-solving with God, and seeking spiritual support to punishing-God reappraisal, spiritual discontent, and reappraisal of God's powers. These subscales sort into a positive religious coping pattern, reflecting a secure relationship with the sacred, and a negative pattern, reflecting spiritual struggle, and the two relate to adjustment in opposite directions. The full RCOPE is the parent instrument behind the widely used Brief RCOPE.	The Centrality of Religiosity Scale (CRS), developed by Stefan Huber and Odilo Huber and consolidated in their 2012 paper, measures how central the religious meaning system is within an individual's personality. It operationalizes five core dimensions drawn from the Glock-Stark tradition — intellect, ideology, public practice, private practice, and religious experience — and treats them as indicators of a single higher-order construct, the centrality of religiosity. The CRS comes in interchangeable 15-, 10-, and 7-item versions, yields both dimension scores and an overall centrality score, and supports a simple three-level classification of respondents as not religious, religious, or highly religious. Designed for cross-cultural and interreligious use, it has become one of the most widely applied general religiosity measures in contemporary survey research.
