Assessing psychological resilience: translation and validation of the Chinese version of the resilience evaluation scale (RES).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Resilience Evaluation Scale (RES) is a novel and freely available measure of psychological resilience (factored into self-confidence and self-efficacy). To date, psychometric properties were evaluated in Dutch and American samples, but not yet in a Chinese sample.

Objective

We aimed to validate the RES in a Chinese sample by examining its factor structure, reliability, and construct validity.

Methods

The RES was translated into Chinese following a cross-cultural translation and adaptation procedure. Self-report questionnaires including the RES, exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTE's), the PTSD checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), and scales for conceptually related constructs of psychological resilience were then administered via an online survey.
