Abstract

It is crucial for undergraduates to understand their academic resilience when they face academic setbacks or problems in everyday life, but there are few measurements to examine the academic resilience. The study aims to develop the academic resilience for undergraduates, based on the perspective of Martin and Marsh. The results indicated that the separation reliabilities of the scale from three dimensions were .996, .992, and .992, respectively. The person measures from the three dimensions were positively correlated with two criterion variables; that is, learning engagement performance and attitude, as well as hope and optimism, whereas they were negatively correlated with depression. The orderings of item difficulties of the three dimensions were also fitted in with the validation evidences. Our findings suggest that researchers and practitioners can be confident in their interpretation of the Academic Resilience Scale.
