The construct of psychological resilience has received increasing attention in the mental health field. This article describes the development and initial validation of a novel self-report resilience scale, which addresses gaps in the resilience measurement literature by assessing thoughts and behaviors that help promote resilience rather than traits, and simultaneously evaluating multiple factors previously associated with resilience.
Following consensus meetings focused on scale development, we conducted an online study ( = 1,864) of U.S. adults to develop and validate an initial version of the Mount Sinai Resilience Scale (MSRS).
An exploratory factor analysis in a random 50% of the sample suggested a seven-factor solution; this solution was then generally supported by a follow-up confirmatory factor analysis in the remaining 50% of the sample. After removing poor-fitting items, a revised 24-item scale correlated in the expected directions with established measures of perceived resilience and resilience-related constructs (e.g., social support and optimism).
Collectively, the results of this study provide initial support for the convergent and discriminant validity of the MSRS and describe its factor structure. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
心理弹性的结构在心理健康领域受到越来越多的关注。本文描述了一种新的自我报告弹性量表的开发和初步验证，该量表通过评估有助于促进弹性的思想和行为，而不是特质，同时评估与弹性相关的多个因素，从而解决了弹性测量文献中的空白。
在专注于量表开发的共识会议之后，我们对美国成年人进行了一项在线研究（n=1864），以开发和验证初始版的西奈山弹性量表（MSRS）。
对样本中随机 50%的探索性因素分析表明存在七因素解决方案；然后，在剩余 50%的样本中进行的后续验证性因素分析普遍支持了这一解决方案。在剔除拟合不良的项目后，经过修订的 24 项量表与既定的弹性感知和与弹性相关的构念（例如，社会支持和乐观）的测量工具呈预期方向相关。
总的来说，这项研究的结果为 MSRS 的收敛和判别效度提供了初步支持，并描述了其因素结构。
