Resilience is a multi-dimensional construct associated with health and well-being. At present, we do not yet have valid, scientific instrument that designed to evaluate adult resilience in Spanish-speaking countries accounts for family, social individual components. This study aimed at investigating the cross-cultural validity of Scale Adults (RSA) by combining Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) Hierarchical Regression models Hispanic Latin-American group.

There is an increasing research interest in emotional responses to climate change and their role action psycho-social impacts of change. At the same time, experience multidimensional influenced by a variety factors, including local cultural context. Here, we contribute scientific debate about this topic with original quality-controlled data from general populations Norway ( N = 491) Ireland 485). We investigate cross-cultural validity nomological span eight distinct - anger, contempt,...

This study investigated resilience patterns and predictors of these (i.e. gender migration background) among Swiss early adolescents in times COVID-19. A total 317 pupils participated at two time points. We conducted separate latent class analyses a transition analysis using mental health issues protective factors as indicators.

Hope and resilience protect against inner vulnerabilities or harsh life circumstances; they explain individual differences in physical mental health outcomes under high stress. They have been studied complementary competing theoretical frameworks; therefore, the study of measures hope should be undertaken prior to explore if are truly value-added for research. This investigates convergent incremental validity Resilience Scale Adults (RSA) Herth (HHS), prediction anxiety depression (HSCL-25)....
The present study investigated resilience profiles (based on levels of symptoms anxiety and depression five dimensions protective factors) 1,160 students from Germany ( n = 346, 46.0% females, M age 12.77, SD 0.78), Greece 439, 54.5% 12.68, 0.69), Switzerland 375, 44.5% 12.29, 0.88) using latent profile analyses. We also checked for measurement invariance the influence gender migration class membership. A three-profile-solution was found (nonresilient 22.1%, moderately resilient 42.9%,...
Metacognitive theory provides strong foundation for hypothesizing relations between worry and rumination among subgroups of metacognitive beliefs. However, empirical exploration prospective reciprocal are lacking. This study investigated the stability to better understand how they influence each other over time, different levels beliefs affect (i) initial future worry, rumination, (ii) cross-lag rumination. Overall, 482 (Females = 63%) participants (Mean age 26 years) participated in a...

The existing evidence suggests that a complete evaluation of mental health should incorporate both psychopathology and well-being indicators. However, few studies categorize European adolescents into subgroups based on such data.

Resilience is the process and outcome of healthy adaptation despite significant adversity. Proliferation research on resilience construct has led to scientific concerns about operationalization measurement for assessment science practice.
