“…Previous research has explored the factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent validity of the RSYA in several samples of Canadian (Prince‐Embury et al, ; Saklofske et al, ; Wilson et al, ) and Italian (Wilson et al, ) young adults. The current study seeks to further explore the cross‐cultural replicability of the three‐factor and 10‐facet structure of the RSYA with a sample of Chinese young adults.…”

“…Initial research validating the RSYA has demonstrated excellent internal consistency reliability for the three factors, and adequate internal consistency across the 10 subscales. Confirmatory factor analysis showed good overall model fit, providing support for the three‐factor, 10‐facet structure (Prince‐Embury et al, ). Previous research supports the convergent validity of the RSYA with the factors and facets all correlating in the expected direction with related psychological measures.…”

“…Previous research has demonstrated that the three‐factor structure is superior to both a one‐ and two‐factor structure (Prince‐Embury & Courville, ). These three primary factors and 10 facets may be assessed with the Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents (RSCA; Prince‐Embury, , ) and more recently the 50‐item extension, the Resiliency Scale for Young Adults (RSYA; Prince‐Embury, Saklofske, & Nordstokke, ).…”

“…Sense of Mastery and Sense of Relatedness correlate positively, and Emotional Reactivity correlates negatively with measures of psychological well‐being, such as life satisfaction and flourishing. Conversely, Sense of Mastery and Sense of Relatedness correlate negatively, and Emotional Reactivity correlates positively with measures of depression, anxiety, and stress (Prince‐Embury et al, ; Saklofske et al, ; Vesely, Saklofske, & Nordstokke, ).…”

“…However, the RSCA was intended for use with children and adolescents aged up to 18 years only. The RSYA (Prince‐Embury et al, ) has been adapted from the RSCA and is specifically designed to more appropriately and specifically assess the three‐factor model of personal resiliency in young adults, thus making it the more suitable measure for use within young adult populations. However, the applicability of this scale in a Chinese young adult sample has yet to be explored.…”

The current study reports on a cross‐cultural validation of the recently developed Resiliency Scale for Young Adults (RSYA) with two samples consisting of 617 Canadian university students and 651 Chinese university students. Confirmatory factor analysis, tests of cultural invariance, and correlations with relevant individual difference variables were conducted as tests of validity. In the Chinese sample, confirmatory factor analysis supported the factor structure of the RSYA and internal consistency reliabilities for the three factors and 10 facets were good‐to‐excellent. Cultural and gender invariance were supported. Correlations with depression, anxiety, stress, flourishing, and life satisfaction were also in the expected direction in the Chinese sample. These findings provide additional support for the RSYA as a reliable and valid measure of personal resiliency for Chinese young adults. Findings support the three‐factor model of personal resiliency in both Canadian and Chinese young adults, as well as cultural and gender invariance. The robustness of this model has implications for assessing and developing resiliency cross‐culturally.

There is scant research on how Asian American adolescents’ resiliency relates to mental well-being in adulthood. The objective of this study was to determine the prospective associations between resiliency factors (individual, family, and school community) in adolescence and mental health outcomes in adulthood, among a national sample of Asian Americans. We analyzed data from 1020 Asian American adolescents who were followed for 14 years in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. Of the resiliency factors, individual self-esteem (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] 0.54, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.37–0.79) and family connectedness (AOR 0.78, 95% CI 0.65–0.93) in adolescence were found to be protective against adult mental health outcomes in logistic regression models adjusting for sociodemographic factors and baseline mental health. Our study identified individual and family resiliency factors which can be leveraged to help Asian American adolescents and families in cultivating better mental health.

The aim of this study is to identify and evaluate the efficacy of adolescent protective factors against mental health (MH) outcomes in young adulthood of sexual minority identifying youth (SMY). Methods: Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, we identified potential protective factors (e.g., individual factors like self-esteem, family factors like family communication, and community factors like caring teachers) at baseline (1994) when the sample was school-aged for SMY. SMY included those who identified their sexual identity as mostly heterosexual, bisexual, mostly homosexual, or 100% homosexual. MH outcomes (depression, anxiety, or suicidality) were assessed at 14-year follow-up. Results: Approximately 14,800 youth completed baseline and follow-up surveys, where 13.5% identified as SMY. Of SMY, 57% had a MH outcome compared to 37% of non-SMY (p < .05). Not all factors were protective for SMY. At the individual level, emotional well-being (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] .56, 95% confidence interval [CI] .41e.78) and self-esteem (AOR .79, 95% CI .66e.95) were found to be protective for MH outcomes in regression models. At the family level, family connectedness (AOR .82, 95% CI .71e.95) was found to be protective. At the community level, school connectedness (AOR .78, 95% CI .66e.92) and caring teachers (AOR .76, 95% CI .58e.99) were found to be protective for SMY. Conclusion: Factors at the individual, family, and community (e.g., caring teachers) levels appear to be protective against MH outcomes unique to SMY. Developing interventions focused on protective factors have potential to prevent health disparities.
