Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Area of Science:

Psychometrics
Health Psychology
Behavioral Science

Background:

Existing resilience measures lack psychometric validation and a gold standard.
Adults in health coaching programs require a tailored resilience assessment for health behavior change.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a psychometrically sound resilience instrument for adults in health coaching.
To create a context-specific measure for individuals undergoing health behavior change.

Main Methods:

Two studies were conducted: instrument creation (Study 1) and Rasch analysis for optimization (Study 2).
Study 1 involved 427 adults, identifying instrument and rating scale issues.
Study 2 utilized Rasch analysis on 493 adults to refine the instrument and validate its psychometric properties.

Main Results:

The developed 18-item Health Resilience Profile (HRP) demonstrated unidimensionality.
The optimized four-category rating scale functioned effectively.
The HRP showed good item-person fit, no measurement error, and no differential item functioning across demographic and health variables.

Conclusions:

The 18-item HRP is a psychometrically validated instrument for assessing resilience in adults within health coaching programs.
The HRP is suitable for measuring resilience related to health behavior change in this specific population.
