Reliability and validity of Connor-Davidson resilience scale in Chinese college students / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To examine the reliability and validity of Chinese revision of connor-davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC) in Chinese college students.Methods 1610 college students were tested with CD-RISC.783 of them took a more test by BFI and SCL-90 at the same time.After three weeks,83 students were retested by CD-RISC.Results (1) The results of confirmatory factor analysis (x2/df =6.632,RMSEA =0.059,GFI =0.934,AGFI =0.915,CFI =0.927,NFI =0.915) indicated that the three-factor model reasonably fitted Chinese college students.(2) The Cronabach α coefficients of the CD-RISC and three factors called adaptability,tenacity and autonomy were 0.914,0.865,0.784,0.767 respectively; the mean inter-item correlation coefficients of them were 0.364,0.417,0.425,0.398 respectively; the Guttman split-half coefficients were 0.888,0.843,0.707,0.650 respectively; the retest-reliability coefficients were 0.856,0.742,0.777,0.747.(3) The scores of the total scale of CDRISC and three factors were significantly correlated to BFI and SCL-90(P＜0.01).There were significant differences between the low-resilient group and the high-resilient group in every index of BFI and SCL-90.(4) There were significant differences between male and female students in CD-RISC and factor tenacity and autonomy(male2.77±0.60,2.70-±0.74,2.65±0.68;femaleZ70±0.53,2.62±0.67,2.54±0.62; P＜0.05).Conclusion The Chinese version of CD-RISC is a reliable and valid method for assessing resilience in Chinese college students.
