Resilience and Mental Health Psychometric Methodologies and Testing Optimism, Hope, and Well-being

Abstract

Aim: To investigate the psychometric properties of the Finnish version of the Resilience Scale (RS) and its short version (RS-14), as well as the relationship of resilience with demographic variables and self-perceived health.Method: A standard procedure was used for translation of the scale, and 243 participants (75% women, mean age = 41.0;SD = 17.8) were evaluated with the RS, the RS-14, and the EuroQol 5D.Results: The mean level of resilience was found to be moderate.Both the RS and the RS-14 showed good internal consistency reliability, .90 and .87,respectively.No clear factor structure was found.Both assessments correlated with age but there was no statistically significant association with education or gender.However, a relatively weak but statistically significant correlation between the RS and the RS-14 with self-reported health was found in women.Conclusion: The Finnish versions of the RS and RS-14 can be recommended to be used in clinical and scientific settings.Gender is suggested to be taken into account in further research of resilience.
