Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Adolescents react differently to challenging negative life events. Resilience, a dynamic characteristic of individuals, was studied to be a protective factor against such events. In order to study the resilience among Arabic-speaking adolescent populations, age-appropriate measures that are fully apprehended by younger respondents are needed. In this context, the present study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of an Arabic translation of the Resilience Scale for Adolescents (READ) in a community sample of native Arabic-speaking adolescents aged 13-18 years.

METHODS

A sample of 546 community Arabic-speaking adolescents from Lebanon was recruited (n = 328 females, with a mean age of 15.76 ± 1.65 years). Through an online questionnaire, participants were requested to complete the READ, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-8) and the 13-item Children's Impact of Event Scale (CRIES-13).

RESULTS

Following the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA-to-CFA) strategy, a unidimensional model of the Arabic version of the READ was met after 10 items were removed from the scale, and showed strong internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 0.943). Additionally, the one-factor solution of the Arabic version of the READ was identical across male and female adolescents at the three levels of invariance (Configural, Metric and Scalar). Finally, higher resilience scores were significantly correlated with lower levels of psychopathology, namely depression, anxiety, stress and PTSD, thus attesting to the concurrent validity of the Arabic READ.

CONCLUSION

Findings lend support to the psychometric reliability and validity of the Arabic version of the READ, and therefore its suitability for use among Arabic-speaking adolescents. The availability of this tool facilitates the implementation of interventions that foster resilience, especially in adolescents who have faced a number of negative life events.

摘要

简介

青少年对具有挑战性的负面生活事件的反应不同。韧性是个体的一种动态特征，被认为是抵御此类事件的保护因素。为了研究阿拉伯语青少年群体的韧性，需要使用适合年轻人理解的、充分适用于年轻受访者的年龄适当的措施。在这种情况下，本研究旨在检验阿拉伯语青少年韧性量表（READ）阿拉伯语翻译本在母语为阿拉伯语的 13-18 岁社区青少年样本中的心理测量特性。

方法

从黎巴嫩招募了 546 名社区母语为阿拉伯语的青少年样本（n=328 名女性，平均年龄为 15.76±1.65 岁）。通过在线问卷，要求参与者完成 READ、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表（DASS-8）和 13 项儿童事件影响量表（CRIES-13）。

结果

在进行探索性和验证性因素分析（EFA-to-CFA）策略后，在从量表中删除 10 个项目后，阿拉伯语版 READ 的单维模型得到满足，且具有很强的内部一致性（Cronbach's alpha 为 0.943）。此外，阿拉伯语版 READ 的单因素解决方案在男性和女性青少年的三个不变性水平（构形、度量和标度）上是相同的。最后，较高的韧性得分与较低水平的精神病理学显著相关，即抑郁、焦虑、压力和 PTSD，从而证明了阿拉伯语 READ 的同时效度。
