BACKGROUND
The original Family Resilience Scale (FRS) is a reliable tool to assess family resilience. However, the FRS is based on the United States and parental context. Thus, the usefulness of the FRS for the adolescent and young adult population in Asian countries, particularly Malaysia remains unknown. This study translated the FRS into the Malay language and validated it on Malaysian adolescents and young adults to identify its potential as a self-report tool to assess the resilience level of their family.
METHODS
A total of 351 participants (M = 19.75, SD = 3.29) were recruited in the study using purposive sampling. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to examine the factorial structure of the Family Resilience Scale-Malay (FRS-Malay) and measurement invariance between adolescents and young adults. Then, the scale's reliability was investigated using Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega coefficients, and composite reliability index. Finally, we examined the discriminant validity of the FRS-Malay by correlating its score with individual resilience score and examined the incremental validity of the scale using hierarchical multiple regression analysis to test if family resilience can explain individual well-being levels beyond and above individual resilience.
RESULTS
The findings of the confirmatory factor analysis suggest that a single-factor model is supported for both age groups. Furthermore, the scale exhibited scalar invariance between adolescents and young adults. The scale also exhibited good reliability, as the value of Cronbach's alpha, McDonald omega coefficients, and composite reliability index were above 0.80. Additionally, the Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the FRS-Malay and individual resilience scores, which supports the discriminant validity of the scale. Similarly, the incremental validity of the scale is also supported. Specifically, family resilience had a positive correlation with well-being, even after controlling for individual resilience in the regression analysis.
CONCLUSIONS
The FRS-Malay has demonstrated good reliability and validity. The scale measures the same construct of family resilience across adolescents and young adults, making it suitable for comparisons. Therefore, this unidimensional tool is appropriate for self-reporting their perceived level of family resilience. It is also useful for studying the development and fluctuation of family resilience in the Malaysian context.
背景
原始的家庭弹性量表（FRS）是评估家庭弹性的可靠工具。然而，FRS 是基于美国和父母背景的。因此，FRS 对于亚洲国家的青少年和年轻成年人的适用性，特别是马来西亚，仍然未知。本研究将 FRS 翻译成马来语，并在马来西亚的青少年和年轻成年人中进行验证，以确定其作为评估家庭弹性水平的自我报告工具的潜力。
方法
本研究采用立意抽样法招募了 351 名参与者（M=19.75，SD=3.29）。进行验证性因素分析以检验家庭弹性量表-马来语（FRS-马来语）的因子结构和青少年与年轻成年人之间的测量不变性。然后，使用 Cronbach's alpha、McDonald's omega 系数和综合可靠性指数来研究量表的可靠性。最后，我们通过与个体弹性评分相关联来检验 FRS-马来语的判别有效性，并通过层次多重回归分析来检验该量表的增量有效性，以测试家庭弹性是否可以在个体弹性之外解释个体的幸福感水平。
结果
验证性因素分析的结果表明，对于两个年龄组，都支持单因素模型。此外，该量表在青少年和年轻成年人之间表现出标度不变性。该量表还表现出良好的可靠性，Cronbach's alpha、McDonald omega 系数和综合可靠性指数的值均高于 0.80。此外，Pearson 相关分析显示，FRS-马来语与个体弹性评分之间呈正相关，这支持了该量表的判别有效性。同样，该量表的增量有效性也得到支持。具体来说，即使在回归分析中控制了个体弹性，家庭弹性与幸福感之间仍存在正相关。
结论
FRS-马来语具有良好的可靠性和有效性。该量表在青少年和年轻成年人中测量了相同的家庭弹性结构，因此适合进行比较。因此，这种单一维度的工具适合自我报告他们对家庭弹性的感知水平。它还可用于研究马来西亚背景下家庭弹性的发展和波动。
