This three-item scale measures how strongly a person believes they can turn to happy memories to feel better whenever they are feeling down. Faraji-Rad and Lee (2022), who called it memory-for-coping, used it in a study with 142 university students that is reported in their web appendix. No source was given, so the scale appears to have been written by the authors.
7-point Likert (anchors not reported; likely strongly disagree / strongly agree)

Alpha was .80 (Faraji-Rad and Lee 2022, web appendix, p. 3). Validity was not discussed. The response anchors were not reported; a 7-point disagree/agree format, as used for the authors' other scales, is assumed.
