“…A self-report Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) (Connor & Davidson, 2003) suitable for use with older adolescents in the context of education (Campbell-Sills & Stein, 2007;Singh & Yu, 2010) was completed by inductees. The CD-RISC is used to calculate total resilience (0-100) and five contributory subscale scores of (i) First which is the highest.…”

“…There are also lessons for subjective resilience from research on psychological resilience, which seeks to understand the ability of individuals to cope with and adapt positively in the face of loss, hardship or adversity (Singh and Yu 2010). This research has examined a wide range of determinants of personal resilience including epigenetic, developmental, psychosocial, and neurochemical factors (Wu et al 2013).…”

“…Both are relevant and applicable in the context of subjective resilience. Potentially transferable lessons for subjective resilience are also presented by the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, a self-administered scale of 25 (later shortened to 10) questions testing psychometric properties that cover five factors corresponding to: personal competence, high standards, and tenacity; trust in one's instincts, tolerance of negative affect, and strengthening effects of stress; positive acceptance of change and secure relationships with others; control; and spiritual influences (Connor and Davidson 2003;Singh and Yu 2010). A person's psychological resilience will inevitably have a strong influence on how resilient they perceive their household or community to be.…”

‘Subjective resilience’: using perceptions to quantify household resilience to climate extremes and disasters

How should we measure a household's resilience to climate extremes, climate change or other evolving threats? As resilience gathers momentum on the international stage, interest in this question continues to grow. So far, efforts to measure resilience have largely focused on the use of 'objective' frameworks and methods of indicator selection. These typically depend on a range of observable socio-economic variables, such as levels of income, the extent of a household's social capital or its access to social safety nets. Yet while objective methods have their uses, they suffer from well-documented weaknesses. This paper advocates for the use of an alternative but complementary method: the measurement of 'subjective' resilience at the household level. The concept of subjective resilience stems from the premise that people have an understanding of the factors that contribute to their ability to anticipate, buffer and adapt to disturbance and change. Subjective household resilience therefore relates to an individual's cognitive and affective self-evaluation of their household's capabilities and capacities in responding to risk. We discuss the advantages and limitations of measuring subjective household resilience and highlight its relationships with other concepts such as perceived adaptive capacity, subjective well-being and psychological resilience. We then put forward different options for the design and delivery of survey questions on subjective household resilience. While the approach we describe is focused at the household level, we show how it has the potential to be aggregated to inform sub-national or national resilience metrics and indicators. Lastly, we highlight how subjective methods of resilience assessment could be used to improve policy and decision-making. Above all, we argue that, alongside traditional objective measures and indicators, efforts to measure resilience should take into account subjective aspects of household resilience in order to ensure a more holistic understanding of resilience to climate extremes and disasters.

A shortened version featuring 10 questions has also shown to be as effective, and concentrates on the ability of person to bounce back from the variety of challenges that can arise in life (Scali et al, 2012).…”
