本报告描述了应激反应量表（RSES）的开发和初步验证，RSES是一种衡量个体对应激生活事件的认知、情感和行为反应差异的指标。我们用现役和预备役军人和退伍军人样本（N = 1，014）验证了该仪器。结果表明，22个项目的规模表现出良好的内部一致性（α = 0.91-0.93）和良好的重测信度（r = 0.87）。因子分析结果表明，影响大学生心理健康的因素有5个：（a）意义创造和恢复，（B）积极应对，（c）认知灵活性，（d）精神性，（e）自我效能感。与其他措施的协会支持收敛，判别和并发效度。在单独的军事样本中，RSES解释了创伤后应激障碍症状的独特差异，超出了现有的测量服从性相关结构的尺度，从而证明了增量有效性。RSES提供了一个简短，可靠，有效的测量个体差异的认知，情绪和行为反应的生活中最紧张的事件。
This report describes the development and initial validation of the Response to Stressful Experiences Scale (RSES), a measure of individual differences in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses to stressful life events. We validated this instrument with active-duty and reserve components of military and veterans samples (N = 1,014). The resulting 22-item scale demonstrated sound internal consistency (alpha = 0.91-0.93) and good test-retest reliability (r = 0.87). Factor analysis suggested 5 protective factors: (a) meaning-making and restoration, (b) active coping, (c) cognitive flexibility, (d) spirituality, and (e) self-efficacy. Associations with other measures supported convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity. In separate military samples, the RSES accounted for unique variance in posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms above and beyond existing scales measuring resilience-related constructs, thereby demonstrating incremental validity. The RSES provides a brief, reliable, and valid measure of individual differences in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses to life's most stressful events.
