The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) stands out as a widely used measure of psychological resilience. The original CD-RISC consists of 25 items, commonly referred to as CD-RISC-25.
This study aims to validate the Arabic version of the CD-RISC-25 involving a sample size of 1220 participants from three universities in Jordan.
The researcher conducted a methodological investigation to examine the validation process. This included an examination of the translation process and an evaluation of content validity, which was assessed using the content validity index (CVI). Construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, while convergent and discriminant validity were both evaluated using composite reliability (CR) and the square root of the average variance extracted.
Results showed a prominent level of psychological resilience 76.74±15.2 among the participating university students. Regarding the validity of the Arabic version of CD-RISC-25, the CVI yielded a value of 0.88, signifying a robust level of content validity. The analysis identified four constructs that accounted for 56.26% of the total variance. The goodness-of-fit indices, including goodness of fit index of 0.91, comparative fit index of 0.91, incremental fit index of 0.93, Tucker-Lewis index of 0.94, and root mean square error of approximation of 0.048, provided strong evidence supporting the alignment between the observed data and the hypothesized constructs. Discriminant and convergent validity were found to support the validity of the Arabic version of CD-RISC-25. Regarding the reliability, it demonstrated excellent reliability, with a total Cronbach's alpha of 0.934 and all CR values surpassing the threshold of 0.70, thereby further establishing its overall robustness.
The results provide substantial evidence for the validity and reliability of the translated Arabic CD-RISC-25.
Connor-Davidson 韧性量表（CD-RISC）是一种广泛应用的心理韧性测量工具。原始的 CD-RISC 由 25 个项目组成，通常称为 CD-RISC-25。
本研究旨在验证 CD-RISC-25 的阿拉伯语版本，该版本涉及来自约旦三所大学的 1220 名参与者。
研究人员进行了方法学调查，以检查验证过程。这包括翻译过程的检查和内容有效性的评估，使用内容有效性指数（CVI）进行评估。通过探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析评估构建有效性，同时使用综合可靠性（CR）和平均方差提取的平方根评估收敛有效性和区分有效性。
结果显示，参与大学生的心理韧性水平较高，平均得分为 76.74±15.2。关于 CD-RISC-25 的阿拉伯语版本的有效性，CVI 得分为 0.88，表明内容有效性较高。分析确定了四个结构，占总方差的 56.26%。拟合度指数，包括拟合优度指数为 0.91、比较拟合指数为 0.91、增量拟合指数为 0.93、塔克-刘易斯指数为 0.94 和近似均方根误差为 0.048，为观察数据与假设结构之间的一致性提供了有力证据。区分有效性和收敛有效性支持了 CD-RISC-25 的阿拉伯语版本的有效性。关于可靠性，它表现出极好的可靠性，总 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.934，所有 CR 值均超过 0.70 的阈值，从而进一步证明了其整体稳健性。
研究结果为翻译后的阿拉伯语 CD-RISC-25 的有效性和可靠性提供了充分的证据。
