Özet:

This study investigates the reliability and validity of the Turkish adaptation of “Resilience Scale”. The sample consisted of 155 undergraduates from the Faculty of Education, Gazi University, Ankara. Scale used in the research was a 24-item Likert-type revised “Resilience Scale” (RS) with 7-point response format. The construct validity of RS was examined by factor analysis. To test concurrent validity, correlations between scores on RS and “Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale” were calculated. There was a significant relationship between scores on the two scales (r = .83). Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was found .82; test-retest correlation coefficient was r = .84. Item-total correlations coefficiencies were .03 through .69. Considering reliability and validity study results, it can be concluded that RS was a valid and reliable instrument.
