一个被广泛使用和接受的评估弹性的量表是Connor-Davidson弹性量表（CD-RISC）。本研究的目的是建立的心理测量特性的卡纳达语版本的规模和评估弹性和心理困扰之间的关系，在低收入环境中生活的少女样本。数据是从606名在一所大学学习的青春期女孩的样本中获得的，这所大学是为来自社会经济弱势环境的妇女开设的。采用CD-RISC（25项）评定心理弹性，采用Kessler心理困扰量表（K10）评定心理困扰。探索性因素分析产生了四个稳定的因素，而不是原来的五个因素。在其他因子分析研究中也得到了类似的结果。心理困扰与心理弹性呈显著负相关。我们的研究表明，CD-RISC是评估低收入环境中青少年韧性的一项有价值的措施。
A widely used and accepted scale for assessing resilience is the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The aim of the present study was to establish the psychometric properties of the Kannada version of the scale and assess the relationship between resilience and psychological distress in a sample of adolescent girls living in lowincome settings. Data was obtained from a sample of 606 adolescent girls studying in a college meant for women from a socio-economically disadvantaged setting. The CD-RISC (25 item) was used to assess resilience and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) was used to assess psychological distress. Exploratory factor analysis yielded four stable factors instead of the original five factors. Similar results have been obtained in other factoranalytic studies. A significant negative correlation was found between psychological distress and resilience. Our study shows that the CD-RISC is a valuable measure to assess resilience among adolescents in low-income settings.
