Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Adolescent Resilience Scale (ARS) among girl adolescents in Iran. In a correlational study, 486 female adolescents were surveyed using the Adolescent Resilience Scale (ARS), Adolescent and Adult Mindfulness Scale (AAMS), Cognitive Reappraisal Scale (CRS) and Proactive Coping Scale (PCS). The principal component analysis method with oblimin rotation were used to compute the ARS's factorial validity and correlation coefficients between resilience dimensions with mindfulness, active coping and cognitive reappraisals were used to compute the ARS’s criterion validity. The results of the principal component analysis showed that the adolescent resilience scale consisted of 4 factors: positive orientation towards the future with a high internal consistency of 0.90, emotional regulation with an internal consistency of 0.75, novelty seeking with an internal consistency of 0.77, and patience with an internal consistency of 0.65. Furthermore, the correlation coefficients between dimensions of resilience with mindfulness, cognitive reappraisal and active coping supported the criterion validity of the adolescent resilience scale. This study provides evidence for the validity and reliability of the Adolescent Resilience Scale (ARS) as a measure of psychological resilience as a dynamic process of positive adjustment to stressful experiences and positive development in girl adolescents. The empirical findings support the conceptualized construct of psychological resilience and the effectiveness of the ARS in examining its manifestations.
