Stress, Resilience and Life Satisfaction in College Students
Stress, Resilience and Life Satisfaction in College Students

Summary/Abstract: The current study aims to assess the construct validity of the Adolescent Resilience Scale and its psychometric properties in order to determine its relevance when used within the Romanian context. The second aim of the study is to investigate the associations between resilience, perceived stress and life satisfaction. A number of 341 Romanian students from several faculties were recruited. The results suggest that the Adolescent Resilience Scale has good psychometric properties after its translation into Romanian, which is an argument for its future use in Romanian settings. The confirmatory factor analysis supports the construct of adolescent resilience even after the Romanian translation. Consistent with previous studies, the path analyses shows that stressors function as a mediator between resilience, reactions to stress and life satisfaction.
