The objectives of the study were to evaluate the psychometric properties and appropriateness of instruments for the study of resilience in adolescents. A search was completed using the terms resilience and instruments or scales using the EBSCO database (CINAHL, PreCINAHL, and Academic Search Premier), MEDLINE, PsychINFO and PsychARTICLES, and the Internet. After instruments were identified, a second search was performed for studies reporting the psychometric development of these instruments. Using inclusion and exclusion criteria, six psychometric development of instrument studies were selected for a full review. A data extraction table was used to compare the six instruments. Two of the six instruments (Baruth Protective Factors Inventory [BPFI] and Brief-Resilient Coping Scale) lacked evidence that they were appropriate for administration with the adolescent population due to lack of research applications. Three instruments (Adolescent Resilience Scale [ARS], Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Resilience Scale for Adults) had acceptable credibility but needed further study in adolescents. One instrument (Resilience Scale [RS]) was determined to be the best instrument to study resilience in the adolescent population due to psychometric properties of the instrument and applications in a variety of age groups, including adolescence. Findings of this review indicate that the RS is the most appropriate instrument to study resilience in the adolescent population. While other instruments have potential (e.g., ARS, BPFI) as they were tested in the adolescent and young adult populations, they lack evidence for their use at this time. An evaluation of the review and recommendations are discussed.
本研究的目的是评估用于青少年心理弹性研究的工具的心理测量特性和适用性。使用“心理弹性”和“工具”或“量表”等术语，通过EBSCO数据库（CINAHL、PreCINAHL和学术搜索高级版）、MEDLINE、PsychINFO和PsychARTICLES以及互联网进行了检索。在确定工具后，又进行了一次检索，以查找报告这些工具心理测量学发展情况的研究。根据纳入和排除标准，选择了六项工具心理测量学发展研究进行全面审查。使用数据提取表对这六种工具进行比较。六种工具中的两种（巴鲁斯保护因素量表[BPFI]和简易弹性应对量表）由于缺乏研究应用，没有证据表明它们适用于青少年群体。三种工具（青少年心理弹性量表[ARS]、康纳-戴维森心理弹性量表和成人心理弹性量表）具有可接受的可信度，但需要在青少年中进一步研究。一种工具（心理弹性量表[RS]）由于其心理测量特性以及在包括青少年在内的各种年龄组中的应用，被确定为研究青少年群体心理弹性的最佳工具。本次综述的结果表明，RS是研究青少年群体心理弹性最合适的工具。虽然其他工具（如ARS、BPFI）在青少年和青年人群体中进行了测试，具有潜力，但目前缺乏其使用的证据。本文还讨论了对综述的评估和建议。
