“…Resilience Scale (α = .90) and the Spanish Resilience Scale (α = .92) both had alphas which were similar to previous studies (Black and Ford-Gilboe, 2004;Heilemann, Lee, & Kury, 2003;Hunter & Chandler, 1999). The reliability estimates of the scales in this study were more than adequate for social sciences research.…”

“…Further use of the RS scale with adolescents supported strong reliability and validity. Black and Ford-Gilboe (2004) Hunter and Chandler (1999) investigated 51 healthy high school high risk students including 22 Hispanics, 20 Blacks, 6 Whites, and 3 from other racial groups.…”

Examining the Impact of Resilience on Work Stress and Strains in Nurses

“…Resilience has been found to be related to important well-being outcomes such as physical health (Black & Ford-Gilboe, 2004;Humphreys, 2003;Monteith & Ford-Gilboe, 2002) and emotional health (Broyles, 2005;Humphreys, 2003;March, 2004;Nygren et al, 2005;Rew, Taylor-Seehafer, Thomas, & Yockey, 2001). Resilience has also been found to be related to important organizational outcomes such as job performance (Fletcher, 2011).…”
