ABSTRACT
The objective of the study was to build and validate a scale of resilient coping and another of expectations for the future in times of COVID-19. The research was cross-sectional and instrumental. By means of an intentional non-probabilistic sampling, a sample of 200 students from the National University Hermilio Valdizan de Huanuco-Peru, period 2020 was made. The results show that through the content validation carried out by six experts and nine expert judges, preliminary scales of both resilient coping with 43 items and future expectations with 28 items were obtained. On the other hand, through quantitative validation, regarding the confirmatory factor analysis, it showed that the model had acceptable goodness and fit indices for the resilient coping scale and regular for the scale of future expectations. The total internal consistency using cronbach's alpha for the resilient coping scale was 0.94 and for the future expectations scale, 0.83. It is concluded that the resilient coping scales and future expectations for university students, adapted to the context of the COVID-19 crisis, is valid and reliable.
