Bouncing Back and Overcoming Obstacles. A Measurement Study of Resilience for Middle School Students

      Аннотация: Placing resilience into a broader context of non-cognitive skills, the author identifies four groups of definitions of resilience and successfully places scales of resilience into the same four categories. Using information of nearly four thousand middle school students collected longitudinally at three time points and a resilience scale which consists of three subscales, the author explores the psychometric property of the scale, and examines the predictive validity of resilience on various future outcomes.
