- Abstract
This study assessed the validity and reliability of a newly created personal resilience measure with four subscales, i.e., Determination, Endurance, Adaptability, and Recuperability. Convergent validity was tested with Chinese Values and Future Orientation, and divergent validity was tested with Neuroticism. The results showed significant correlations in the expected directions between the four personal resilience domains and each test variable. Concurrent validity used the “Known-Groups” method, which yielded the expected significantly different mean scores between the high and low groups. The reliabilities of the subscales were also excellent. Thus the validity and reliability of the new personal resilience measure were confirmed.
