We conducted three studies to validate the Polish version of the BRS. Our objectives are as follows: first, to explore the dimensional structure of the scale and to determine the internal consistency (study 1: n = 1022); second, to determine the congruent and divergent validity of the BRS (study 2: n = 242); and third, to examine sensitivity of the BRS scale to detect high-risk population (study 3: n = 602).
To explore the dimensional structure of the scale, we tested a two-factor model with one factor for positively worded items and one factor for negatively worded items. To determine the congruent and divergent validity of the BRS, we analysed correlations among BRS and resilience, positive mental health, and with positive and negative religious coping. We used Student's t-test to examine sensitivity of the BRS scale to detect a high-risk population.
Based on the CFA, a bivariate model was confirmed for items positively and negatively formulated with a higher order factor, which indicates the homogeneity of the scale, similar to the analyses carried out for their language versions confirming this type of homogeneity of the scale. The internal compatibility assessment based on Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega is good (0.88). Our analyses intended to test convergent and divergent validity, and showed that the BRS results are significantly related to a questionnaire measuring similar constructions. Our validation studies also provided important diagnoses regarding BRS "sensitivity", indicating that groups with higher stress levels achieved lower BRS resilience results.
The results of our research indicate that the Polish version of the BRS should be considered to be a reliable and valid research tool. The Polish version of BRS is a reliable and accurate way of measuring resilience as the ability to bounce back from adversity and overcome various challenges or stressors. This scale may be used for both research and intervention purposes.
我们进行了三项研究来验证 BRS 的波兰语版本。我们的目的如下：首先，探索量表的维度结构，并确定内部一致性（研究 1：n=1022）；其次，确定 BRS 的同效和发散效度（研究 2：n=242）；第三，检验 BRS 量表检测高危人群的敏感性（研究 3：n=602）。
为了探索量表的维度结构，我们测试了一个两因素模型，一个因素用于正向词项目，一个因素用于负向词项目。为了确定 BRS 的同效和发散效度，我们分析了 BRS 与韧性、积极心理健康以及积极和消极宗教应对之间的相关性。我们使用学生 t 检验来检验 BRS 量表检测高危人群的敏感性。
基于 CFA，正向和负向项目的双变量模型得到了确认，这表明该量表具有较高阶因素，表明其具有同质性，与对其语言版本的分析结果一致，确认了该量表的同质性。基于 Cronbach's Alpha 和 McDonald's Omega 的内部兼容性评估是良好的（0.88）。我们的分析旨在测试收敛和发散效度，结果表明 BRS 结果与测量相似结构的问卷显著相关。我们的验证研究还提供了关于 BRS“敏感性”的重要诊断，表明压力水平较高的群体的 BRS 恢复力结果较低。
我们的研究结果表明，BRS 的波兰语版本应被视为可靠有效的研究工具。BRS 的波兰语版本是一种可靠和有效的测量韧性的方法，即从逆境中恢复和克服各种挑战或压力源的能力。该量表可用于研究和干预目的。
