There is an increasing demand for brief measures of resilience that can distinguish different dimensions of successful adaptation and good quality of life despite the experience of atypical stress. We sought to develop a short measure of resilience that focuses specifically on psychological protective factors associated with resilience. From a review of existing measures of resilience, a list of protective psychological factors associated with good quality of life in contexts of adversity was compiled. A Delphi approach was employed to identify the most important factors, which were used to create the 10-item Rugged Resilience Measure (RRM). A sample of 5880 individuals (aged 16–29 years) from seven countries was then surveyed to investigate the psychometric properties of the measure. Analysis of the data involved exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance and alignment tests. A one-factor model was identified and confirmed to have good fit to the overall sample as well as equivalence across sex and country subgroups. The measure demonstrated good internal reliability (α = .87; ω_h = .83) and concurrent validity through significant correlations with a measure of social-ecological resilience (ARM-R: r = .68) and predictive validity with a measure of social anxiety (SIAS: r = −.29). Evidence is also presented for its convergent, discriminant, and incremental validity. The RRM is a concise and potentially robust measure of personal resilience that works well in different contexts around the world. It may be used to assess internal protective factors or employed concurrently with assessments of social-ecological factors to provide a more holistic account of resilience and an individual’s quality of life.

尽管有非典型压力的经历，但对可以简单区分出成功适应和生活质量的不同维度的简短恢复措施的需求不断增长。我们试图开发一种简短的弹性测量方法，专门针对与弹性相关的心理保护因素。通过回顾现有的应变能力，编制了在逆境中与良好生活质量相关的保护性心理因素清单。采用了Delphi方法来确定最重要的因素，这些因素被用来创建10项坚固耐用的弹性测度（RRM）。然后，对来自七个国家的5880个人（年龄在16-29岁之间）进行了抽样调查，以调查该措施的心理计量学特性。数据分析涉及探索性和确认性因素分析，测量不变性和比对测试。确定了一个单因素模型，并确认该模型与总体样本以及性别和国家亚组的等价性均非常吻合。测量显示出良好的内部可靠性（α= 0.87;ω _ħ  = 0.83），并同时效度通过显著相关性与社会生态回弹性（ARM-R：的量度- [R  = 0.68），并预测效度与社会的量度焦虑（SIAS：r = −.29）。还提供了其收敛性，判别性和增量有效性的证据。RRM是一种简洁且可能强大的个人弹性衡量标准，可在世界各地的不同情况下很好地发挥作用。它可用于评估内部保护因素，或与社会生态因素评估同时使用，以提供更全面的抵御能力和个人生活质量的信息。
