There is substantial societal, policy, and research interest in community resilience as a way to better understand and enhance community thriving in the face of natural hazards, economic disruption, and other challenges. However, partly or fully formative community resilience measures potentially conflate resilience predictors and indicators, thereby constraining the assessment of factors promoting resilience. Based on a general population survey (N = 1,072) in rural, coastal Oregon, USA, we evaluated a 6-item reflective thrive-oriented scale of perceived community resilience that provides a stronger foundation for assessing the contribution of resilience predictors such as community leadership or social capital. Exploratory factor analysis of the scale indicated a single-factor solution that explained 55% of the variance. The Cronbach's alpha was .83, which showed good internal consistency. Scale factor scores correlated with related constructs, with coefficients having signs and magnitudes consistent with prior research. The scale also provides a foundation for assessing general relative to specific (specified) resilience. In the present case, there was an indication of general resilience across the range of changes captured by the scale items.
社会、政策和研究界都对社区弹性非常关注，因为这是一种理解和增强社区在面对自然灾害、经济中断和其他挑战时蓬勃发展的能力的方式。然而，部分或完全形成性的社区弹性措施可能会混淆弹性预测因素和指标，从而限制了对促进弹性因素的评估。基于美国俄勒冈州农村沿海地区的一项总体人口调查（N=1072），我们评估了一个由 6 个项目组成的、反映繁荣的、以感知社区弹性为导向的、反思性量表，该量表为评估社区领导力或社会资本等弹性预测因素的贡献提供了更坚实的基础。对该量表进行的探索性因素分析表明，一个单一因素的解决方案解释了 55%的方差。克朗巴赫的阿尔法系数为.83，表明具有良好的内部一致性。量表因子得分与相关结构相关，系数的符号和大小与先前的研究一致。该量表还为评估一般弹性相对于特定（指定）弹性提供了基础。在目前的情况下，该量表项目所捕捉到的变化范围内存在普遍弹性的迹象。
