The Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) measures the ability to recover from stress. To provide further evidence for construct validity of the German BRS and to determine population-based norms, a large sample (N = 1,128) representative of the German adult population completed a survey including the BRS and instruments measuring perceived stress and the resilience factors optimism, self-efficacy, and locus of control. Confirmatory factor analyses showed best model fit for a five-factor model differentiating the ability to recover from stress from the three resilience factors. On the basis of latent and manifest correlations, convergent and discriminant validity of the BRS were fair to good. Female sex, older age, lower weekly working time, higher perceived stress, lower optimism, and self-efficacy as well as higher external locus of control predicted lower BRS scores, that is, lower ability to recover from stress.

构建德国简要复原力量表（BRS）的有效性和基于人口的规范

简短复原力量表（BRS）衡量从压力中恢复的能力。为了进一步证明德国BRS的结构效度并确定以人群为基础的规范，代表德国成年人口的一大样本（N = 1,128）完成了一项调查，其中包括BRS和测量感知压力和弹性因子乐观度的工具，自我效能感和控制源。验证性因素分析显示最佳模型适合于五因素模型，该模型区分了从三种弹性因素中从压力中恢复的能力。在潜在和明显的相关性的基础上，BRS的收敛性和判别有效性是公平的。女性，年龄较大，每周工作时间较短，压力较大，乐观情绪较低，
