Abstract. Resilience is an ability to adapt successfully to adversities in life. One of the measures to assess trait resilience is the Resilience Scale and its short version, the 14-Item Resilience Scale (RS-14). The aim of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties of the Lithuanian version of the RS-14. Methods. The RS-14, the World Health Organization well-being index (WHO-5), the Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) and the Trauma Screening Questionnaire (TSQ) were administered to 980 Lithuanian adults, 42% males and 58% females, between 18 to 86 years old. Results. The Lithuanian version of the RS-14 demonstrated good reliability and validity. Cronbach’s alpha was .90 and CFA indices suggested a fair-to-good model fit of a one-factor RS-14 solution. There was no significant effect of age on the RS-14 scores, but males scored significantly higher than females. Conclusions. The study confirms that the Lithuanian version of the RS-14 is a valid and reliable instrument to measure resilience. |
