In the sports setting, it is not always true, since athletes actively seek for challenging situations. </span><span>e pressure to perform at a high standard, worries about job security and injury, di</span><span>culties balancing sport and social life commitments, lack of coach feedback, lack of social support in competition and training are some speci</span><span>c stressor in sports settings. Th</span><span>e aim of this study was to adapt cross-culturally and examine the psychometric properties of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) for Brazilian athletes. Following the cross-cultural adaptation of the original English scale, data were collected from 330 athletes (18 - 44 years of age) of both sexes. Th</span><span>e original model of the scale was tested, with con</span><span>rmatory factor analysis, using LISREL software (version 8.51). A satisfactory </span><span>t for the Brazilian model with one factor and six items was found (</span><span>χ</span><span>2 = 18.32, p <.001; RMSEA = .07; GFI = .993; AGFI = .97;, NFI = .979; CFI = .993; NNFI = .986; </span><span>χ</span><span>2 </span><span>/Df = 2.61), replicating the original structure of the scale. Satisfactory evidence of construct validity and internal consistency were also generated through analysis of factor loadings, t-values, Cronbach’s alpha, and construct reliability tests. Th</span><span>e BRS appears to be a valid and reliable scale to assess resilience among Brazilian athletes. </span></p></div></div></div>}, number={1}, journal={Cuadernos de Psicología del Deporte}, author={Nogueira-Neves, Angela and Barbosa, Franciele Pires and da Silva, Marcos Paulo Sena and Brandão, Maria Regina Ferreira and Zanetti, Marcelo Callegari}, year={2018}, month={feb.}, pages={103–110} }
