Some Psychometric Properties of the Family Domain in the “Adolescent Resilience Questionnaire”

The purpose of the present paper is to check the factorial structure and provide some psychometric properties for the family domain in the Adolescent Resilience Questionnaire (ARQ), in the Romanian context. We performed the pilot testing on 270 adolescents between 15 and 18 years old (Mage= 16,3, SD= 0.8), of which 60% were girls. After the translation and adaptation procedure, we performed the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)in AMOSin order to acquire quantitative properties of the scales as well as reliability analyses. The results supported the original factor structure of the ARQ and the coefficients obtained showed acceptable reliability.
