本研究采用简明复原力量表（BRS）对中国大学生的应激恢复能力进行了测量。本研究以547名香港大学生和268名中国大陆大学生为被试，采用BRS量表和乐观、自尊、悲观和身体健康量表进行测量。BRS被认为是衡量一个单一的结构，并表现出收敛的有效性，在两个样本。使用路径分析模型的进一步分析表明，BRS评分在很大程度上介导了两个样本中两个积极特质（乐观和自尊）与身体健康之间的联系。结果表明，BRS是测量中国大学生应激恢复能力的一个可靠、有效的工具。最后，对中国人心理韧性的研究提出了建议。
This study examined the utility of an adapted version of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) to measure Chinese undergraduates' ability to bounce back from stress. The BRS together with measures tapping optimism, self-esteem, pessimism, and physical health were administered to 547 Hong Kong and 268 mainland Chinese undergraduates. The BRS was found to measure one single construct and exhibited convergent validity in both samples. Further analyses using a path analytic model showed that the BRS scores substantially mediated the link between the two positive traits (optimism and self-esteem) and physical health in the two samples. The results suggested that the BRS is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring Chinese undergraduates' ability to bounce back from stress. The implications for further research related to resilience in Chinese people are discussed.
