Introduction: Community resilience is a measure of a community’s sustained ability to utilize available resources, respond to, withstand, and recover from adverse situations. The objective of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Community Resiliency Scale in Iranian society.
Methods: The present study was an applied research that used standardized psychological instruments for data collection. The statistical population of this study was all the people of Iranian society in the year 2023, who were selected by the cluster sampling method and the simple random sampling method. The statistical sample of the research was seven hundred sixty-two people, consisting of four hundred forty-seven women and three hundred fifteen men who answered the initial fifteen questions of the Community Resiliency Scale (Kulig et al., 2008). In order to analyze the data, exploratory factor analysis, the retest method, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and convergent validity were used.
Results: To examine the validity of the questionnaire, content validity methods, construct validity using factor analysis, and convergent validity methods were used. The content validity of the questionnaire using the content validity method was obtained as a coefficient of ninety-four hundredths. In this research, by performing exploratory factor analysis and using varimax rotation, two factors were identified, and the eigenvalue of each factor was higher than one. The remaining twelve items were used for confirmatory factor analysis, and in the end, the structural model of two factors was confirmed. Also, the convergent validity of this measure with the social well-being questionnaire was obtained at seventy-eight hundredths. The reliability coefficient of this scale was calculated by Cronbach's alpha of seventy-eight hundredths and by a retest method with a time interval of one month, seventy-four hundredths.
Conclusions: The results of this research indicate that the Community Resiliency Scale, with two main factors, has reliability and validity in Iranian society. |
