Scale Analysis

The Resilience Scale is a psychometric tool developed to measure individuals’ ability to cope with and recover from difficulties and challenges in their lives. This scale includes a series of questions that assess various dimensions of resilience, such as sense of purpose, self-esteem, adaptability, emotion regulation, and social support. Participants are asked to respond to these questions using a Likert scale, usually ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree).

Purpose

The purpose of this scale is to provide a valid and reliable tool for assessing individuals’ psychological resilience. This tool is particularly useful for researchers, psychologists, counselors, and other health professionals, as it enables the understanding of the factors that contribute to resilience and the development of strategies to strengthen it.

Scale Calibration

The RS-25 Scale consists of 25 items, which are scored on a 7-point Likert scale, with 1 = Strongly Disagree and 7 = Strongly Agree.
