Abstract

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.
