“…Summated scores of items 2 and 9 correlated better than the CD-RISC-2 with the CD-RISC-10, and manifested superior agreement and inter-rater reliability. Some previous studies also found items 2 and 9 to have the highest factor loadings among CD-RISC-10 items [ 25 , 37 ]. However, we know of no prior study that conducted GRM-based item diagnostics to test the CD-RISC-2’s concurrent validity and reliability against alternative item pairings from the CD-RISC-10.…”

Purpose Psychometric validity/reliability of 10-item and 2-item abbreviations of the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10; CD-RISC-2) was investigated via item response theory and classic approaches. Methods We sampled 5023 adult American participants in a June/July 2020 survey on the COVID-19 pandemic’s psychological effects. Our questionnaire incorporated the CD-RISC-10 with other validated measures. CD-RISC-10 items were ranked on item-to-scale correlations, loadings on a one-factor confirmatory factor analysis model, and item slope/threshold parameters plus information curves from a unidimensional graded response model. Concurrent validity of the highest ranked item pair was evaluated vis-à-vis the CD-RISC-10 and CD-RISC−2. Internal consistency, based on average variance extracted (AVE) and multiple reliability coefficients, was also compared. Convergent/divergent validity was tested by correlating anxiety, depression, fear of COVID-19, anxiety sensitivity, coping, and personality measures with both scales and the highest ranked item pair. Binary agreement/classification indexes assessed inter-rater reliability. Results Items 2 and 9 from CD-RISC-10 ranked the highest. Reliability coefficients were > 0.93, > 0.72, and > 0.82 for the CD-RISC-10, CD-RISC-2, vs summation of items 2 and 9. AVEs were 0.66, 0.67, and 0.77. CD-RISC abbreviations and the summation of items 2 and 9 correlated negatively with anxiety (> − 0.43), depression (> − 0.42), and fear of COVID-19 (> − 0.34); positively with emotional stability (> 0.53) and conscientiousness (> 0.40). Compared to the CD-RISC-2, summative scores of items 2 and 9 more efficiently classified/discriminated high resilience on the CD-RISC-10. Conclusion We confirmed construct validity/reliability of copyrighted CD-RISC abbreviations. The CD-RISC-10’s items 2 and 9 were psychometrically more salient than the CD-RISC−2.

“…While good evidence of the CD-RISC-10’s psychometric properties exists among varying demographic groups such as older adults (Goins et al, 2013), young adults (Campbell-Sills & Stein, 2007; Madewell & Ponce-Garcia, 2016), and when translated into other languages (e.g., Spanish; Notario-Pacheco et al, 2011), other authors (e.g., Smith et al, 2019) have contended alternative factor structures of the CD-RISC-10 may be better fitting. However, as there exists no “gold standard” of quantitative resilience measurement, due in part to the array of theoretical approaches and their resultant measures (e.g., the contextual resources approach that facilitates individual resilience expounded upon by Ungar and Liebenberg (2011)), the CD-RISC represents one of the more rigorous available options for the measurement of resilience in adults (e.g., evidence of test scores reflecting test-retest reliability, and having interpretable construct validity) (Windle et al, 2011).…”

The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale's (CD-RISC) 10 item variant has previously demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties of its test scores using traditional methods (e.g., confirmatory factor analysis), and concurrent validity with resilience-related outcomes, particularly in samples of younger adults. While alternative methods of examining the psychometric properties of the long-form CD-RISC exist in the literature, the short-form measure has unclear evidence of local item independence and a unidimensional structure, which are key assumptions of a polytomous Rasch model approach to examining the measure's psychometric properties. The current study employed a sample of young adult university students (n = 708, xage = 26.43 years (s = 7.77)) on their nursing practicum placements to examine the CD-RISC-10 against the polytomous Rasch measurement model criteria. The analyses suggested a sevenitem variant of the CD-RISC-10 performed acceptably, and omitted issues with local item dependence and item misfit. Effect sizes of the standardized parameters estimated for the 7-item and original 10-item versions of the CD-RISC-10, when predicting compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction, were small (s = −0.24, s = −0.23) and moderate (s = 0.48, s = 0.47) for the respective measures, which suggested similar efficacy when examining the test scores' concurrent validity. The shorter version of the CD-RISC-10 consequently demonstrated generally acceptable psychometric properties for its test scores, and remained a parsimonious approach to examining individual psychological resilience that will benefit from further development. Public Significance StatementThis study examined whether the CD-RISC-10's scores were consistent with the assumptions of a Rasch model, which helped provide further information about the reliability and validity of the measure's scores. The study acknowledged, following some modifications to the measure, that the CD-RISC-10 can provide practitioners and researchers with a brief tool that reflects perceptions of psychological resilience.

“…Research on this topic have found that highly resilient individuals are able to anticipate positive outcomes under adverse conditions, visualize work demands as challenges to be overcome, with confidence in their ability to succeed (Britt and Jex, 2015). Personality facets, coping mechanisms and social support structures all influence one's level of resilience (Smith et al, 2019). The general objective of this study was to explore Latin American public relations practitioners' level of resilience, measure the effect of sociodemographic and work-related variables, and to examine psychometric properties of the CD-RISC in the public relations field.…”

Purpose It is well established that greater resilience buffers the negative effects of adverse events and conditions, allowing the affected individual to recover adequately. Resilience is a core trait for public relations practitioners, due to the challenging and pressure-laden nature of their work. However, as an individual-level trait, this phenomenon remains underexplored in the communication field. The purpose of this paper is to examine the dimensionality and measurement invariance of the 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (Connor and Davidson, 2003), evaluate the level of resilience and identify predictors of resilience among Latin American public relations practitioners. Design/methodology/approach A population of 898 public relations professionals from 18 Latin American countries working on different hierarchical levels, both in communication departments and agencies across the region were surveyed. Findings CD-RISC global scorings show direct correlations with age, years of experience, type of organization, hierarchy and social media skills. However, education, salary, gender or working in an excellent, successful and influential communication department were not predictors of resilience. Additionally, results provide supporting evidence that the CD-RISC has good psychometric properties and can be used as a reliable and valid tool to assess resilience among Latin American public relations practitioners. Research limitations/implications As in any study using self-report measures, the results may have been influenced by participants’ acquiescence and need for social desirability. Greater participation is needed from some countries to allow for a more comprehensive comparative analysis. Practical implications Identifying factors that protect against negative outcomes is important for the development of strengths-based approaches that emphasize resilience. Moreover, in predicting the ability to tolerate stress and its negative effects, this study may help in the selection of personnel who will manage tougher job demands. Originality/value Research on the concept of resilience has gained substantial momentum over the past decades and has become a multidisciplinary field of research spanning a variety of theoretical and conceptual positions. However, practitioner resilience has not formally addressed in the public relations research, with the sole exception of the qualitative research conducted by Guo and Anderson in 2018 using a critical incident technique approach. This field provides an intriguing context to study resilience because practitioners are regularly engaged in work that may require the ability to “bounce back” from challenging work.
