Both scales correlated significantly in expected directions with related constructs. Sensitivity and specificity of RS-5 compared with RS-11 were. Internal consistency of this shorter scale: Resilience Scale 5 (RS-5) was α = .80. A shorter version of the scale was developed with 5 items, which also gave a 1-factor solution and showed good validity. Resultsįactor analysis of the RS-11 gave a 1-factor solution.
Sensitivity and specificity of RS-5 to RS-11 was analyzed.
Shorter models were compared using confirmatory factor analysis. The criterion for a shorter scale was a minimum internal consistency of. Construct validity was measured by correlating scores with psychological constructs. To test reliability, factor analyses were carried out and internal consistency (Cronbach’s α) was measured. The RS-11 scale was administered to 3942 participants (aged 64 – 94 years) of the KORA-Age study. The aim of this study was to assess reliability and validity of the Resilience Scale 11 (RS-11) and develop a shorter scale in a population-based study.
