Resilience, as an ability to withstand and rebound from crisis and adversity, is becoming an increasingly popular concept in research on intervention and prevention of mental health. The present study examined psychometric properties of a Persian version of the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), a scale intended to measure protective factors presumed to enhance resilience. The participants were 373 university undergraduate students, as well as 30 pairs of run-away girls and a matched control group. A confirmatory factor analysis verified the Norwegian five-factor structure. All subscale scores, personal competence, social competence, family cohesion, social resources and structured style, had good reliability. The convergent validity of the RSA was supported by showing positive associations with another resilience scale, i.e., a Persian version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Predictive validity of the RSA was supported, as well, by significantly differentiating between girls who had run away from home and a matched control group. The results indicate that the RSA may be a valid and reliable scale for the assessment of resilience protective resources in an Iranian population.
心理韧性作为一种承受危机和逆境并从中恢复的能力，在心理健康干预与预防研究中已成为一个越来越流行的概念。本研究考察了成人心理韧性量表（RSA）波斯语版本的心理测量特性，该量表旨在测量被认为能增强心理韧性的保护因素。参与者包括373名大学本科生，以及30对离家出走的女孩和一个匹配的对照组。验证性因素分析证实了挪威的五因素结构。所有子量表得分，即个人能力、社交能力、家庭凝聚力、社会资源和结构化风格，都具有良好的信度。RSA与另一个心理韧性量表，即波斯语版的康纳 - 戴维森心理韧性量表（CD - RISC）呈正相关，这支持了RSA的收敛效度。通过显著区分离家出走的女孩和匹配的对照组，RSA的预测效度也得到了支持。结果表明，RSA可能是评估伊朗人群心理韧性保护资源的一个有效且可靠的量表。
