The Psychometric Properties of the Resilience Scale (RS-14) in Lithuanian Adolescents.

ABSTRACT: In the current study, we provided the evidence of satisfactory validity of the RS-14 scale in the Lithuanian adolescents' sample (N = 1299; M _age = 14.24; SD _age = 1.26), based on its internal structure, and relations to other variables. The results of the study indicated an acceptable model fit for a single-factor structure of the scale with a high internal consistency (McDonald's omega = 0.89). We also confirmed the scalar measurement invariance across groups of adolescents in terms of their age (i.e., early and middle adolescence) and mental health profile as well as partial scalar gender invariance. Adolescents characterized by high levels of socio-emotional problems reported lower levels of resilience, in comparison to adolescents that reported low levels of socio-emotional problems. However, the data indicated that adolescents from emotional problems and behavioral problems groups cannot be differentiated with the RS-14 scale.

Project description:Meta-analytic results have revealed a significant influence of stress on a wide array of psychological and behavioral markers, underscoring its considerable clinical importance. Providing a simple and cost-effective tool assessing stress for the Arabic-speaking population would be immensely beneficial. Therefore, our research objective was to examine the psychometric properties of an Arabic version of the Stress Numerical Rating Scale-11 (Arabic SNRS-11), including its reliability, and construct validity. 763 adolescents were recruited during November 2023. An anonymous self-administered Google Forms link was distributed via social media networks. The results of the EFA revealed two factors, which explained 66.43% of the common variance. When adding the SNRS-11, Bartlett's test of sphericity, χ2(55) = 4127.1, p < 0.001, and KMO (0.88) remained adequate. The two-factor solution obtained explained 63.28% of the variance. The same structure was obtained in both males and females separately. McDonald's ω and Cronbach's α were very good for all models. Both PSS and Arabic SNRS-11 scores correlated significantly and positively with each other, as well as with higher depression, anxiety and stress scores. Finally, no significant difference was found between males and females in terms of PSS (27.08 ± 6.43 vs. 27.72 ± 6.06; p = 0.163; Cohen's d = 0.102) and Arabic SNRS-11 (4.68 ± 2.56 vs. 4.97 ± 2.52; p = 0.125; Cohen's d = 0.113) scores. The findings indicate that the Arabic SNRS-11 is a cost-effective, valid, and reliable tool for assessing stress. Therefore, it is recommended to use this single item to assess momentary or day-to-day stress among Arabic-speaking adolescents in Arab clinical and research settings. To evaluate the practical effectiveness of the Arabic SNRS-11 and to further enhance the data on its construct validity, future studies should assess the measure in diverse contexts and among specific populations.
