Objective:
To assess the reliability and validity of the scale RYDM, as well as the resilience status and its impact factors.
Methods:
964 students were investigated. The participants were chosen through the stratified cluster sampling. The software of SPSS 17.0 was used for the analysis.
Results:
(1) RYDM: The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the RYDM was 0.945. The split-half reliability was 0.865. The re-test reliability was 0.838. The correlations between total scale and 2 factor scales were 0.896 and 0.9743 respectively. The correlation between the 2 factor scales was 0.776. (2) The scores on family closeness, family high expectations, community expectation of left-behind children were lower than that of the no-left-behind children (P < 0.05). The protective factors of mental resilience in left-behind children were age, frequency of conflict with the guardian, worry degree about out-working parent(s) (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Reliability and validity of the RYDM scale are psychometrically qualified. The resilience of the left-behind children is worse in some aspects than that of the no-left-behind children, which is influenced most by family factors.
