摘要:AbstractStudies addressing resilience often relied on quantitative measurements with participants who faced significant adversity. In the last two decades, the concept of resilience started to be approached also in a non-traumatic context. There is a gap in the literature regarding the operationalisation and the instruments used to assess the construct. The purpose of the study was to develop a contextually relevant measure of youth resilience: Youth Resilience Measure (YRM). Both quantitative and qualitative stages of its development ensured that YRM has good construct validity and reliability. Results offer an integrative image of perceived competences used by individuals to overcome problematic situations.
