| Abstract: | In this study, the validity of the recently developed 28-item Resilience Scale for Adolescents (READ) was examined. Survey
data from a representative sample of 6,723 Norwegian senior high school students between 18 and 20 years of age were used
for this purpose. Validity and reliability were investigated by means of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, correlations
with other relevant variables, and internal consistency measures. The results supported the construct and convergent validity
of the five factors of a modified 23-item version of the scale, which also yielded acceptable psychometric properties. The
paper concludes that the modified READ is a valid measure assessing relevant resilience factors with relatively few items,
thereby serving as a valuable tool in resilience and risk-factor research. |
