Factor structure of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale in South African adolescents

Trauma severity and control beliefs as predictors of posttraumatic growth among adolescent survivors of the Wenchuan earthquake.

“…A preliminary study of its psychometric properties in general population and patient samples have showed good internal consistency, and construct, convergent, and discriminated validity [28]. Although subsequent studies were not able to replicate the 5-factors structure originally reported [45][46][47], the CD-RISC is still regarded as one of the resilience measures having the best psychometric properties in a meta-analysis [48]. The Chinese version of the CD-RISC was first translated and used by Yu and Zhang (2007) study of Chinese adults [46].…”

Resilience and post-traumatic stress disorder in the acute aftermath of rape: a comparative analysis of adolescents versus adults

“…Although specific resiliency instruments exist for the measurement of adolescent resiliency (e.g. Adolescent Resilience Scale or ARS), only the CD-RISC, originally developed for use in adults, has demonstrated usefulness in South African adolescent samples (Jorgensen et al 2008). Jorgenson et al (2008) found a negative correlation between CD-RISC and age (such that younger individuals had lower resilience scores), but also called for further validation studies in South African samples.…”

“…Its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent and divergent validity of the CD-RISC has been ascertained in general population samples, primary care outpatients, psychiatric outpatients, patients with generalised anxiety disorder, and patients with PTSD (Connor et al 2003, Windle, Bennet andNoyes 2011). A South African study that examined the factor structure of the CD-RISC in a sample of 701 adolescents found the CD-RISC to be a useful tool (Jorgensen and Seedat 2008).…”

Variables d'ajustament psicològic en una mostra d'adolescents amb mesures de protecció

“…Les puntuacions altes reflecteixen una major capacitat de recuperació (Connor i Davidson, 2003). L'escala va mostrar una adequada consistència interna, amb un alfa de Cronbach superior a 0,80, tant en la investigació original (Connor i Davidson, 2003), com en treballs posteriors amb adolescents i joves adults (Jorgensen i Seedat, 2008;Burns i Anstey, 2010). Els coeficients alfa de Cronbach per a les subescales comprenen des 0,70 fins a 0,95.…”
