Abstract:
Resilience, the ability to bounce back from a stressful situation, is a valuable asset for aiding adults with serious mental illness (SMI) in navigating the recovery process. The purposes of this study were to examine the factor structure, internal reliability, and construct validity of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) among adults with SMI living in the community. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and correlational analyses were employed. Three hundred fifteen adults with SMI were recruited for two studies. Results from seven CFA models suggested a bifactor structure for the BRS, which fit the data best. Internal reliability of the BRS was computed to be within acceptable ranges. The BRS was positively correlated with measures of positive coping and life satisfaction, providing convergent validity. The BRS presented a bifactor structure measuring resilience and correlated with positive psychology- and psychopathology-related measures.
