The 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) is a widely used assessment of resilience. However, psychometric properties of the Chinese version of CD-RISC-10 have not been well investigated in a Chinese military personnel sample.
A total of 3,129 Chinese military personnel completed the CD-RISC-10, Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). Among them, 528 recruits completed the CD-RISC-10, SAS, and SDS again after 3-month basic military training (BMT). Meanwhile, the commanding officers were asked to rate recruits' training performance on the training performance rating scale for recruits (TPRS). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was implemented to examine the single-factor model of the CD-RISC-10, and multigroup CFA was conducted to test measurement invariance across military rank (officers vs. enlisted), gender (male vs. female), and time (before and after 3-month BMT). Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω, and test-retest reliability was tested using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). The criterion-related validity of CD-RISC was evaluated using Pearson's correlation analysis between the CD-RISC-10 total score and SAS scores, SDS scores, and training performance ratings.
The single-factor model of the CD-RISC-10 showed adequate fit (CFI = 0.955-0.970, TLI = 0.943-0.962, RMSEA = 0.059-0.072) in all examined subsamples (male, female, officer, and enlisted), and strict invariance was also supported across military rank, gender, and time (ΔCFI ≤ 0.001, ΔTLI ≤ 0.005, ΔRMSEA ≤ 0.006). The CD-RISC-10 showed good internal consistency in all subsamples (Cronbach's α of > 0.93 and McDonald's ω of > 0.93) and good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.88). Moreover, concurrent and predictive validity with the SAS and SDS scores were good ( = -0.68 to -0.49, < 0.001). The resilience level of recruits at the beginning of BMT was significantly associated with training performance rated by supervisors after training ( = 0.29, < 0.001).
The psychometric evidence reported in this study suggests that the CD-RISC-10 is a reliable and valid assessment of resilience and a potential predictor for mental health and military performance in Chinese military personnel.
10项Connor-Davidson心理韧性量表（CD-RISC-10）是一种广泛使用的心理韧性评估工具。然而，中文版CD-RISC-10在中国军事人员样本中的心理测量特性尚未得到充分研究。
共有3129名中国军事人员完成了CD-RISC-10、自评焦虑量表（SAS）和自评抑郁量表（SDS）。其中，528名新兵在3个月的基础军事训练（BMT）后再次完成了CD-RISC-10、SAS和SDS。同时，要求指挥官根据新兵训练表现评定量表（TPRS）对新兵的训练表现进行评分。采用验证性因素分析（CFA）检验CD-RISC-10的单因素模型，并进行多组CFA以检验军阶（军官与士兵）、性别（男与女）和时间（3个月BMT前后）的测量不变性。使用Cronbach's α和McDonald's ω评估内部一致性，并使用组内相关系数（ICC）检验重测信度。通过CD-RISC-10总分与SAS分数、SDS分数以及训练表现评分之间的Pearson相关分析评估CD-RISC的效标关联效度。
CD-RISC-10的单因素模型在所有被检查的子样本（男性、女性、军官和士兵）中显示出良好的拟合度（CFI = 0.955 - 0.970，TLI = 0.943 - 0.962，RMSEA = 0.059 - 0.072），并且在军阶、性别和时间上也支持严格不变性（ΔCFI ≤ 0.001，ΔTLI ≤ 0.005，ΔRMSEA ≤ 0.006）。CD-RISC-10在所有子样本中显示出良好的内部一致性（Cronbach's α > 0.93，McDonald's ω > 0.93）和良好的重测信度（ICC = 0.88）。此外，与SAS和SDS分数的同时效度和预测效度良好（r = -0.68至-0.49，p < 0.001）。BMT开始时新兵的心理韧性水平与训练后上级评定的训练表现显著相关（r = 0.29，p < 0.001）。
本研究报告的心理测量证据表明，CD-RISC-10是一种可靠且有效的心理韧性评估工具，也是中国军事人员心理健康和军事表现的潜在预测指标。
