ESCUDERO NOLASCO, Juan Carlos et al. Analysis of the Psychometric Properties of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) in Peruvian University Students. Propós. represent. [online]. 2023, vol.11, n.1, e1747.  Epub 30-Abr-2023. ISSN 2307-7999.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20511/pyr2023.v11n1.1747.

This instrumental research aimed to analyze the psychometric evidences of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) in Peruvian university students. A total of 468 students from public and private universities participated: 62,6% were women and 37.4% were men aged 18-50 (M=23.97, SD=6.58). The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the adjustment of the oblique model (CFI=.993; TLI=.987; RMSEA=.004; SRMR=.023) and adequate reliability values were obtained (α = .79 y ω = .85). Also, the criterion validity related to the same variable was determined (r=.606) with the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS); the Life Orientation Test (LOT - R) and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) were used for convergent and divergent validity (r=.617), with correlation coefficients of r=-.546 for depression, r=-.515 for anxiety, and r=-.514 for stress. Finally, the invariance was analyzed by gender, age and university of the participants, finding adequate equity values in four levels of factorial invariance. Therefore, it is concluded that the BRS is an instrument with adequate evidence of validity, reliability and equity to measure resilience in Peruvian university students.
