Abstract

Contemporary definitions of resilience recognize the multisystemic nature of adaptation in the face of stressors, encompassing individual, familial and community-level resources and skills that protect and promote resilience. While assessment in adolescent and adult samples has flourished, psychometrically sound measures are needed for assessing factors that promote and protect resilience in young children. The Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-12, child version) was administered upon children’s enrollment in a trauma-based intervention for K-8th graders (n = 239; 43.51% female, average age = 7.16 years). An Exploratory Factor Analysis was run based on previous studies’ mixed structure findings. Data suggest a single factor solution for the CYRM-12 fit the data well (χ2(54, n=239) = 40.24, RMSEA = 0.00(.00–.015), TLI = 1.0, CFI = 1.0). The results provide preliminary evidence that indicate the CYRM-12 is suitable to assess resilience in children as young as 5 years of age.
