Growth Dimension subscales are autonomy, practical
orientation, personal problem orientation, and anger and
aggression. Under the System Maintenance Dimension, the
subscales are order and organization, program clarity, and
staff control. There are four forms of the COPES: the Real
form, the Short form, the Ideal form, and the Expectations
form. The Real form is the standard form and consists of
100 true/false items assessing the ten subscales of the
COPES. Form S (the Short form) consists of the first 40
items of Form R, including 4 items from each of the ten
subscales. The Ideal form (Form I) contains items reworded
to obtain patients' preferences about treatment, and the
Expectations form taps patients' expectations. For the
purpose of the present study, a Real-Ideal difference score
was computed based on a subject's responses on Form S and
the parallel short version of Form I. This difference score
was computed by taking the absolute value difference between
each subject's Real and Ideal score on each question and
then adding these together to come up with an overall
difference score. As stated in the manual, such a
difference score can be used to tap a patient's satisfaction
with the program in which he or she is participating by
contrasting the way a patient views the program with his or
her preferences concerning an ideal program.
In terms of reliability, the COPES has shown adequate
reliability across time and across programs with profile
