Research on the relationship between resilience and loneliness is sparse. The construct of resilience has been conceptualized in multiple ways, including the measurement of resilience. The Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) is a measure of protective factors. The present study examined whether resiliency moderates any negative relationship between loneliness and mental health and additionally examined the psychometric properties of the Danish translation of the RSA.
A Danish sample (N = 422) completed the UCLA Loneliness Scale, Hopkins Symptom Check List-25 (HSCL-25), the Sense of Coherence (SOC-13), and the RSA, Resilience Scale for Adults.
The measure of loneliness correlated significantly and negatively with most facets of the RSA, except the subscales of family cohesion and structured style. The strongest correlation was the negative one between loneliness and SOC. The results indicated that people feeling lonely also experience their life as less meaningful.
The study supports the existing six-factor structure of the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) in a Danish sample. The results indicate that all facets of resiliency were negatively related to loneliness. Also, the facets of perception of self and family coherence could explain a substantial amount of the variance associated with symptoms of depression in relation to loneliness.
关于韧性和孤独感之间关系的研究较少。韧性的结构已经以多种方式概念化,包括韧性的测量。成人韧性量表(RSA)是一种保护因素的测量方法。本研究检验了韧性是否能调节孤独感和心理健康之间的任何负相关关系,并进一步检验了 RSA 丹麦语翻译的心理测量特性。
丹麦样本(N=422)完成了 UCLA 孤独感量表、霍普金斯症状检查清单-25(HSCL-25)、心理韧性量表(SOC-13)和 RSA 成人韧性量表。
孤独感的测量与 RSA 的大多数方面显著负相关,除了家庭凝聚力和结构化风格的分量表。与孤独感相关性最强的是 SOC 的负相关。结果表明,感到孤独的人也会觉得自己的生活没有意义。
该研究在丹麦样本中支持 RSA 的现有六因素结构。结果表明,韧性的所有方面都与孤独感呈负相关。此外,自我和家庭一致性的感知方面可以解释与孤独感相关的抑郁症状的大部分方差。
