The 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) is a tool for measuring resilience. The scale has demonstrated solid psychometric properties in different populations. The objective of this study was to adapt the CD-RISC-10 into Georgian and explore the psychometric characteristics of the Georgian version of 10-item CD-RISC for Georgian youth.
Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study.
Sample: study involved university students of age range 17-25.
Instruments: along with the 10-item CD-RISC, measures of depression, problematic internet use (PIU) and parental psychological control(PPC) were administered. Exploratory (EFA) and Confirmatory (CFA) analyses were conducted to assess internal reliability and validity through internal consistency, construct validity, model fitness. The scale demonstrated adequate reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.87) and satisfactory validity. Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale showed significant associations with the measures of problematic internet use, depression, and parental psychological control. Factor analyses revealed that resilience was best explained by a one factor solution. The scale has acceptable psychometric properties as an instrument to measure resilience in Georgian youth.
