Abstract:
ObjectivePsychometric properties of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale and its utility for use with African American college students were examined. Participants: Subjects were 440 university students (M age = 21.65, SD = 6.17) who were enrolled during the 2018-2019 academic year and recruited during the fall and spring semesters. Methods: A single-group confirmatory factor analysis was employed to determine the best model for assessing family resilience in an African American college student population. Results: The model fit was poor and could not be respecified due to numerous item cross-loadings. Conclusions: Further research is needed to validate a measure that adequately assesses family resilience for African American students.
