Resilience inventory and their psychometric properties

Abstract:

This research is aimed at estimating the psychometric properties of an inventory of resilience in order to explore its operation in university students. 1196 We worked with students of the Academic Unit of Social Sciences of the Technical University of Machala, Ecuador, of which 61.7% were female and 38.3% male. The mean age was 22 years with a standard deviation of 6.54. The methodology was divided into three stages: the first addressed to the descriptive analysis of the reagents. The second focused on the estimation of the exploratory factor analysis and the third, in the calculation of confirmatory factor analysis. In conclusion inventory it consists of 14 reagents resilience explaining the 44,894% of the variance associated with the construct was achieved. The factorial solution identifies four factors: psychosocial coping, confidence in solving problems, humor and positive evaluation of what I lived and self-regulation. This model is fitted under the statistical evaluation done. As for reliability, the inventory showed a Cronbach’s alpha of .889 and .887 Omega McDonald, both with p value of .001.
