Transcultural and psychometric validation of the Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS-15) in Chinese adult women

Abstract

The C-DRS-15 was demonstrated to be a reliable and valid measurement to assess hardiness in Chinese women.

Reliability and validity of the Korean version of the 15-item Dispositional Resilience Scale

“…The validity and reliability of the DRS-15 have been demonstrated in studies conducted in various countries (Hystad et al, 2010;Picardi et al, 2012;Solano et al, 2016;Wong et al, 2014). The results of the present study provide support for the validity and reliability of the KDRS-15 in measuring hardiness in Korean adults.…”

“…The criterion validity of the DRS-15 was assessed using the 20-item KCES-D to measure depression, which has been shown to be closely associated with resilience in previous studies (Dowrick, Kokanovic, Hegarty, Griffiths, & Gunn, 2008;Gito, Ihara, & Ogata, 2013;Jeste et al, 2013). In addition, depression was chosen to assess known-group validity, as previous studies have reported that depressed individuals were less resilient relative to non-depressed individuals (Davydov, Stewart, Ritchie, & Chaudieu, 2010;Southwick, Vythilingam, & Charney, 2005;Wong et al, 2014). Responses are provided using a 4-point Likert scale, and total scores range from 0 to 60.…”

“…The DRS-15 has 15 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale, and it has been confirmed that the tool is effective not only for those under the stress but also for healthy people. The DRS-15 has been translated into many languages (Hystad, Eid, Johnsen, Laberg, & Bartone, 2010;Picardi et al, 2012;Solano et al, 2016;Wong et al, 2014) and is used to assess hardiness; however, only a rough Korean translation has been performed. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the DRS-15 and to establish its utility in clinical practice and health research.…”

The role of hardiness in the relation between perceived daily discrimination and depressive symptoms in community college students.

“…Although the DRS-15 has undergone multiple revisions with the hopes of addressing issues of inconsistent measurement, it is still common to have variations in factor structure between the three subcomponents and one overarching construct based on the sample using the measures (e.g., Kardum, Hudek-Knezevic, & Krapic, 2012;Wong et al, 2014). Thus, in the current study, the factor structure of the DRS-15 will be assessed with the study sample prior to completing additional statistical analyses.…”

“…Per the widely accepted theory of hardiness, the 3 C's should be highly correlated and secondary to the overarching hardiness factor (e.g., Maddi, 2002;Orr & Westman, 1990;Ouellette, 1993), however, variations in this factor structure have been seen in more recent studies (e.g., Kardum et al, 2012;Wong et al, 2014), which has led some researchers to call for the domains to be studied separately (Sinclair & Tetrick, 2000).…”
