Abstract

Abstract Resilience outcomes following significant adverse events are related to certain personal attributes, termed resiliency factors. This study aimed to adapt the Prince-Embury resiliency model, developed with children and adolescents, to adult populations. To that end, the Resiliency Questionnaire for Adults (RQA) was developed, consisting of nine characteristics organised around three factors: Sense of Mastery, Sense of Relatedness and Emotional Reactivity. The questionnaire adequacy was tested in adults from both general and health-distressed populations (N = 430) through reliability, confirmatory factor, cross-validation and multiple-group analyses. Criterion validity was assessed via path analysis with latent variables to predict resilience outcomes. The RQA scores were reliable and the three-factor model fitted the data well. The three resiliency factors predicted two-thirds of the variance in resilience. This questionnaire constitutes a reliable and valid assessment of personal factors underlying resilience.

心理弹性的个人因素:成人心理弹性问卷的编制与验证

摘要重大不良事件后的恢复力结果与某些个人属性有关，称为恢复力因素。这项研究旨在将针对儿童和青少年开发的Embury王子弹性模型应用于成年人群。为此，制定了成人弹性问卷（RQA），由九个特征组成，围绕三个因素组织：掌握感、关联感和情绪反应性。通过可靠性、验证性因素、交叉验证和多组分析，在来自普通人群和健康问题人群（N=430）的成年人中测试了问卷的充分性。通过潜在变量的路径分析评估标准有效性，以预测恢复力结果。RQA评分是可靠的，三因素模型与数据拟合良好。三个弹性因素预测了弹性变化的三分之二。这份问卷是对弹性背后的个人因素的可靠和有效的评估。
