本文报告了意大利版成人复原力量表(RSA)的验证性研究，该量表旨在评估个人、家庭和社会复原力保护资源。RSA被应用于临床样本(即物质使用障碍或SUD；N=437)和非临床样本(N=337)。验证性因素分析支持RSA在两个样本中的原始6因素结构。焦虑自评量表与功能性应对策略呈正相关，与感知压力和功能障碍应对策略呈负相关。此外，RSA分量表区分了SUD和非SUD个体。因素不变性检验也证实了性别间具有类似的心理测量学特性。结果证实了意大利版RSA具有良好的心理测量学特性，并为量表的结构效度提供了支持。RSA可能适用于检查自然病程和干预试验的研究。
This article reports a validation study of the Italian version of the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), a measure designed to assess individual, family, and social resilience protective resources. The RSA was administered to a clinical (i.e., substance use disorders, or SUD; N = 437) and a nonclinical sample (N = 337). A confirmatory factor analyses supported the original 6-factor structure of the RSA in both samples. The RSA correlated positively with functional coping strategies and negatively with perceived stress and dysfunctional coping strategies. Moreover, the RSA subscales discriminated between SUD and non-SUD individuals. Factorial invariance testing also confirmed comparable psychometric properties across gender. The results confirm good psychometric properties of the Italian RSA and provide support for the construct validity of the scale. The RSA may be suited for use in studies examining natural course and intervention trials.
