“…This has encouraged many scholars to conduct research in this area (Masten, Powell, & Luthar, 2003; Rutter, 1987). Experts have various opinions about the nature of resilience, with some believing that resilience is intrinsic and others that it is extrinsic (Cheraghi, Ebadi, Gartland, Ghaedi, & Fomani, 2016; Martinez Garcia & Sheehan, 2016; Sapienza & Masten, 2011; Ungar, 2015). But, in general, resilience is an intrinsic–extrinsic concept and one of the most important components affecting health (Zolkoski & Bullock, 2012).…”

Children and adolescents are vulnerable in times of disaster and they will suffer more severely if neglected. The concept of resilience differs between cultures, and identifying the components of resilience is essential for decision making and interventions in disasters such as risk management. This study aimed to identify the components of children’s resilience in disasters in Iran. This qualitative study took a content-analysis approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 23 people and three group meetings. Conventional content analysis was used for data analysis. MAXQDA 10 software was used for classification. The resilience components derived from the data were categorized into two main categories, internal and external, and eight subcategories covering psychological, emotional, cognitive, mental, spiritual, physical, social, and behavioral factors. The results also showed that the nature of resilience is both intrinsic and extrinsic. Recognizing the dimensions of children’s resilience in disasters can lead to a new perspective for authorities and planners in disaster and emergency situations. The results of this study could be used by planners and policymakers to develop interventions to enhance children’s and adolescents’ resilience at the time of disasters, which is also underlined and highlighted by international documents.

“…The ARDT questionnaire, with a total Cronbach's alpha of .89, had better validity and reliability in comparison with the ARQ (Adolescent Resilience Questionnaire) [24] which has a total Cronbach's alpha of .70. Although the ARQ questionnaire has been designed to measure the adolescents' resilience, it was not specific to disaster and emergency situations.…”

“…Specific questionnaires for adolescents are limited, however the long Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM) questionnaire with 28-items [22], and the short CYRM questionnaire with 12items [23] have been widely used. Other questionnaires, such as the Adolescent Resilience Questionnaire (ARQ) [24], have been found to report good validity and reliability (Cronbach's alpha, .70). It also covers multiple domains of family (α = 0.85), peers (α = 0.82), school (α = 0.85), and individual (α = .94) across 87-items.…”

Adolescent resilience after a disaster has been shown to be a protective factor against loss, trauma, and psychological distress. Its importance for successful disaster recovery is widely accepted by disaster risk management professionals, yet very few tools are available to assess adolescent resilience during an emergency or after a natural disaster has occurred. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a questionnaire designed to measure adolescents' resilience before, during or after a natural disaster. This mixed method study was carried out in three phases involving item generation, systematic review (phase one), qualitative analysis (phase two) and the reduction of items (phase three). The psychometric evaluation of the Adolescents' Resilience in Disaster Tool (ARDT) was conducted using the data from 599 high school students North of Iran (Golestan Province). The initial item pool included 80 items that were reduced to 37 after assessment of validity (face, content and structure) and reliability. Exploratory Factor Analysis found five factors that affect adolescents' resilience which included helping, trusting in God and hopefulness, adaptability, self-confidence and social support. The internal consistency was desirable (α = .86 and ICC = .91; 95% CI: .849 to .948). The psychometric support for the 37-item version of the ARDT in this study indicates strong support for the ARDT-Q37 as a rapid assessment tool to evaluate resilience in adolescents aged 12–18 years old. Identifying the status of adolescents’ resilience and determining their level of need for intervention during and after a natural disaster is critical for long- and short-term outcomes. Implications for policy makers and professionals involved in the preparedness, response and recovery from natural disasters are discussed.

“…Another of the instruments is the Adolescent Resilience Questionnaire (ARQ), which is based on the multidimensional nature of resilience, with 12 scales which measure the factors in individual, family, peer, school and community domains [41]. This instrument has also been validated in the Romanian context [42], in Spanish adolescents [43] and in young Iranians [44].…”

Resilience is a personal competence that facilitates coping with adversity and forms part of an individual’s psychosocial adjustment. Therefore, this construct has an important role in adolescent development. Youths with high levels of resilience usually show less risk of behavioral disorders, low academic performance or interpersonal conflicts. The objective of this study was to validate the Resilience Scale for Adolescents (READ) in a Spanish population, and test whether this questionnaire is valid for different cultures and societies. The sample comprised 317 high school students aged 13 to 18 years old with an average age of 14.93, in the province of Almería (Spain). The Resilience Scale for Adolescents was administered for this. Based on exploratory factor analysis and the various previous studies undertaken on validation of this instrument, four models were proposed, of which the original READ model showed the best fit. Validation of this scale showed good internal consistency and high reliability on five factors: Family Cohesion, Personal Competence, Social Competence, Social Resources and Orientation toward Goals. It is considered a valid instrument for evaluating the various factors of resilience and can help determine the education factors contributing to the process of positive adaptation in adolescence.
