“…The present study confirms findings from previous validation studies of the READ reporting poor model fit for the originally proposed factor solution using CFA (Moksnes & Haugan, 2017;Ruvalcaba-Romero et al, 2014;Von Soest et al, 2010). These studies also concluded that modifications of the scale were necessary to achieve acceptable fit (Moksnes & Haugan, 2017;Ruvalcaba-Romero et al, 2014;Stratta et al, 2012;Von Soest et al, 2010).…”

“…Thus, all items do not fit together conceptually, questioning the content validity of this factor. Though the previous 9 PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE RESILIENCE SCALE FOR ADOLESCENTS modifications have resulted in different solutions, all have included changes in this factor (Moksnes & Haugan, 2017;Ruvalcaba-Romero et al, 2014;Stratta et al, 2012;Von Soest et al, 2010).…”

“…Other studies investigating the psychometric properties of the READ suggest that the originally proposed factor structure could be problematic. With the exception of one Irish study (Kelly, Fitzgerald, & Dooley, 2017), all studies have found poor fit for the original 28-item five-factor solution using CFA, and many have modified the scale by removing potentially problematic items (Moksnes & Haugan, 2017; Ruvalcaba-Romero, Gallegos-Guajardo, & Villegas-Guinea, 2014; Stratta et al, 2012; Von Soest, Mossige, Stefansen, & Hjemdal, 2010). However, results have not been consistent regarding how many, and which, items should be removed.…”

“…Due to the inconsistent findings in the literature, there is clearly a need for more studies evaluating the psychometric properties of the READ (Moksnes & Haugan, 2017). However, as conducting more studies evaluating the READ by CFA could further complicate the matter, with yet another modified version, it could be more informative to investigate the structure itself using exploratory methods.…”

Psychometric evaluations of The Resilience Scale for Adolescents (READ) have yielded inconsistent support for the original five-factor solution, with different modifications being proposed. The aim of the present paper was to investigate the psychometric properties and factor structure of the READ using both confirmatory and exploratory methods, and to evaluate how the scale fits within the theoretical framework of resilience. Data stem from the population-based youth@hordaland-study of 9382 adolescents from 16-19 years of age.Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the original five-factor model yielded relatively poor fit. A better model fit was identified for a different five factor structure using exploratory methods including two new personal factors measuring (1) goal orientation and (2) selfconfidence. This division was supported by low secondary loadings and moderate correlations between the factors, and gender differences in the mean scores. Although the READ is a multidimensional measure that includes individual, family and social factors related to the resilience process, some important aspects of resilience have not been included.

Our current knowledge about the health status and developmental process and outcome of Indigenous Sámi children and youths in the high north (Northern Norway, 68 degrees latitude) is scarce. The present longitudinal study, labeled the Arctic Childhood Study, aims to fill major knowledge gaps related to this topic with a special focus on the incidence of violence, abuse, and neglect as well as protective factors. The project will be implemented based on the conceptual framework for Indigenous methodology. The study is highly relevant for the Indigenous population of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Norway as rates of violence are higher as compared to the majority population residing in the same area or farther south. The study applies a mixed methods design that include process evaluations of the pilot study, combines qualitative and quantitative data collection methods, and applies Indigenous collective-informed research. Research activities include a scoping review of abuse and neglect among youth in the Arctic, languages translations of the I-Cast questionnaires, piloting of the Norwegian and Sámi questionnaire packages, and use of focus group discussions. The main study uses a longitudinal cohort study design and school-based surveys in order to explore how relationships between child maltreatment, mental and somatic health, resilience and coping, social, family, and school function, and culturally specific experiences. Participants will be recruited from lower and upper secondary schools in the Arctic and sub-Arctic areas of Norway where the majority of the Indigenous Sámi people lives. The planned participants include adolescents ranging from 12 to 19 years and will follow these individuals every 3 years until age 24. Pending written consent and funding, data will be connected to current national registers. Optionally and pending ethical approval, the study will incorporate the use self-administered, non-invasive buccal swabs in order to collect bio-samples from the participants for genetic analyses and examine genetic mediators related to methylation profiles. The design of the study, the strong focus on Indigenous methodology, the involvement of Sámi youth, and non-Sámi youth is intended to produce new knowledge about the repercussion of violence for the normal development and health status among Sámi and non-Sámi youth in the high north. The study connects individual characteristics with cultural risk and protective factors in order to provide families, advocacy groups, school professionals, the health sector, administrators, and policymakers a more evidence informed basis for initiating early identification and prevention programs in child and adolescent health sectors in Norway. The hope is that the information will provide a better foundation for formulating culturally sensitive prevention strategies aimed at reducing occurrences of violence in Sámi society, and provide new knowledge about factors and mechanisms that may enable more culturally appropriate and effective interventions for use in the Sámi community.

Validation of the Resilience Scale for Adolescents in Norwegian adolescents 13–18 years

Abstract: The psychometric properties of the READ need to be further evaluated in adolescents; however, the results indicate that a modified 20-item version of READ is adequate for assessing resilience in the present sample of Norwegian adolescents.
