Resilience is seen as a vital resource for coping and mental health in adolescents. However, there is no universally accepted theory or definition of resilience, leading to considerable challenges regarding how to operationalise and measure this construct. The study aimed at providing further knowledge of the psychometric properties (dimensionality, construct validity and internal consistency) of the 28-item version of the Resilience Scale for Adolescents (READ) in N = 1183 Norwegian adolescents, 13-18 years old.
Dimensionality of READ was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Convergent validity and reliability were tested using Pearson's correlation analysis, Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability.
The CFA supported a modified, 20-item, five-factor structure with high reliability, supporting the dimensionality and internal consistency of the instrument. Convergent validity was confirmed where all factors correlated in expected directions with measures of sense of coherence, self-esteem, stress and depression.
The psychometric properties of the READ need to be further evaluated in adolescents; however, the results indicate that a modified 20-item version of READ is adequate for assessing resilience in the present sample of Norwegian adolescents.
心理韧性被视为青少年应对困难和保持心理健康的重要资源。然而，目前尚无关于心理韧性的普遍接受的理论或定义，这导致在如何对这一概念进行操作化和测量方面存在相当大的挑战。本研究旨在进一步了解《青少年心理韧性量表》（READ）28项版本在N = 1183名13 - 18岁挪威青少年中的心理测量特性（维度性、结构效度和内部一致性）。
使用验证性因素分析（CFA）测试READ的维度性。使用Pearson相关分析、Cronbach's alpha系数和组合信度来测试收敛效度和信度。
CFA支持一个经过修改的、包含20个条目的五因素结构，具有较高的信度，支持该量表的维度性和内部一致性。所有因素与连贯感、自尊、压力和抑郁的测量指标均在预期方向上相关，从而证实了收敛效度。
READ的心理测量特性需要在青少年中进一步评估；然而，结果表明，经过修改的20项版本的READ足以评估本样本中挪威青少年的心理韧性。
