Abstract

Abstract. The Essential Resilience Scale (ERS) measures global trait resilience and three factors of physical, emotional, and social resilience. This study developed an Italian adaptation of the ERS and recruited participants from Italy ( N = 500) to complete the measure along with criterion validity measures of broad personality traits and related psychological concepts. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) demonstrated robust evidence for a well-fitting three-factor model of the ERS, with items strongly loading onto their respective latent factors. Utilizing Samejima’s graded response model, most item discrimination values were moderate-to-high, and category threshold parameters were well-distributed throughout the latent continuum. The ERS showed correlations in the expected directions with extraversion, emotionality, optimism, mastery, resilience, behavioral activation, behavioral inhibition, stress, and well-being. Cultural invariance was supported (at the scale- and item-level) with multigroup CFA and differential item functioning (DIF) with a sample of Canadian English speakers ( N = 874). Findings evinced the internal consistency (i.e., total MacDonald’s ω), factorial validity (i.e., three-factor CFA), criterion validity (i.e., personality, temperament), and convergent validity (i.e., trait resilience and well-being) of the Italian ERS. Results suggest the Italian ERS can be applied for measuring resilience for future research studies in Italian-speaking populations.

衡量意大利的恢复力

摘要基本弹性量表(ERS)测量整体特质弹性和身体、情绪和社会弹性三个因素。本研究开发了一种意大利版的ERS量表，并从意大利招募了500名参与者(N = 500)来完成该量表以及广义人格特征和相关心理概念的标准效度量表。验证性因子分析(CFA)证明了一个良好拟合的三因素模型，其中项目强烈加载到各自的潜在因素上。使用Samejima的分级反应模型，大多数项目辨别值为中至高，类别阈值参数在整个潜在连续体中分布良好。结果表明，外倾性、情绪性、乐观、掌握、弹性、行为激活、行为抑制、压力和幸福感在预期方向上呈相关关系。采用多组CFA和差异项目功能(DIF)对加拿大英语使用者样本(N = 874)进行文化不变性支持(在量表和项目水平上)。研究结果证实了意大利ERS的内部一致性(即总麦当劳ω)、因子效度(即三因素CFA)、标准效度(即人格、气质)和收敛效度(即特质弹性和幸福感)。结果表明，意大利语ERS可以用于衡量未来意大利语人群的弹性研究。

期刊介绍： The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
