Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to exam the psychometric properties of the resilience research center adult resilience measure (RRC-ARM) for Iranian sample. The RRC-ARM is a screening tool design to assess the resources available to individual that may rely on their resilience. The RRCARM consisted of 28 items with a five-point response scale (Not at all, a little, somewhat, quite a bit, and a lot). The tool measures three sources of resilience (individual, family, and social). To prepare the tool for Iranian sample, the RRC-ARM was translated to Farsi (Persian) firstly. The sample in this study consisted of 280 adult between 22 to 48 years old. All participants filled out the RRC-ARM. To check the factor structure of the RRC-ARM, principle component factor analysis was used. The KMO index and Barttlet Spherecity test showed the content sampling adequacy of the RRC-ARM and adequacy of correlational matrix of the items respectively. The results of the factor analysis revealed a three factor structures for the Farsi version of the RRC-ARM. These factors named individual resilience, family resilience and social resilience. The Cronbach???s alpha showed acceptable internal consistency for the extracted factors. Also test-retest reliability with two weeks interval showed high reliability for the RRC-ARM. In sum, the results revealed that the tool is a reliable and valid screening tool to measure different sources of the resilience.
