Abstract
Our study aimed at investigating the psychometric properties of a German version of the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA). The RSA is a multifactorial resilience questionnaire, which measures dispositional resources, family support, and external supporting systems. To date, it was not possible to assess resilience as a multifactorial construct in German speaking countries. A non-clinical sample (N = 524) took part in a cross-sectional, Internet-based survey. Additionally, in an explorative approach, a clinical sample of patients with recent-onset depression (N = 69) were investigated. A confirmatory factor analysis supported the six-factor solution suggested for the original RSA. Further, the results indicated moderate-to-high internal consistencies for the whole scale and all but one subscale. Construct validity was demonstrated by significant correlations between the RSA and another resilience scale as welt as scales assessing perceived social support and general psychopathology. Group comparisons revealed significant differences between patients and healthy controls. The German version of the RSA is a valid and suitable questionnaire for assessing factors protecting mental health.
