Abstract
CANTERO-GARCIA, María and ALONSO-TAPIA, Jesús. Brief Resilience Scale in front children's Behavior Problems (BRS-BP). Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.3, pp.531-535. ISSN 1695-2294. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.34.3.312601.
Given the fact that resilience varies depending on the kind of adversity people face, it is crucial to develop a specific scale for parents dealing with their children’s behavioral problems. Therefore, we developed a new scale similar to the Brief Resilience Scale (Smith et al., 2008) focused on children’s behavioral problems (BRS-PC). 615 parents took part in our study. We studied the structural validity of the scale through a confirmatory factorial analysis and a cross-validation analysis. We analyzed the scale reliability and we performed a correlation analysis to study its convergent validity. We provide evidence that the BRS-PC structural validity was adequate, its scores reliability was good and we confirmed its convergent validity through its high correlations with the original BRS. The BRS-PC is a reliable and valid tool useful for assessing the resilience of parents with regards to their children’s behavioral problems.
