A widely used and accepted scale for assessing resilience is the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The aim of the present study was to establish the psychometric properties of the Kannada version of the scale and assess the relationship between resilience and psychological distress in a sample of adolescent girls living in low-income settings. Data was obtained from a sample of 606 adolescent girls studying in a college meant for women from a socio-economically disadvantaged setting. The CD- RISC (25 item) was used to assess resilience and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) was used to assess psychological distress. Exploratory factor analysis yielded four stable factors instead of the original five factors. Similar results have been obtained in other factor-analytic studies. A significant negative correlation was found between psychological distress and resilience. Our study shows that the CD-RISC is a valuable measure to assess resilience among adolescents in low-income settings.
评估弹性的一种广泛使用和接受的量表是 Connor-Davidson 弹性量表（CD-RISC）。本研究的目的是建立该量表的 Kannada 版本的心理测量特性，并评估在生活在低收入环境中的一组少女样本中，弹性与心理困扰之间的关系。数据来自一个社会经济地位不利的环境中一所女子学院的 606 名少女样本。使用 CD-RISC（25 项）评估弹性，使用 Kessler 心理困扰量表（K10）评估心理困扰。探索性因素分析产生了四个稳定的因素，而不是原始的五个因素。在其他因素分析研究中也得到了类似的结果。发现心理困扰与弹性之间存在显著负相关。我们的研究表明，CD-RISC 是一种评估低收入环境中青少年弹性的有价值的方法。
