Measurement Invariance of the Conjoint Community Resiliency Assessment Measure-10 in South Korea

Interest in resilience at both the individual and group levels is increasing in response to disasters. The Conjoint Community Resiliency Assessment Measure-10 (CCRAM10), actively utilized in disaster-related research, is a shortened 10-item scale developed to measure community resilience. This study aims to explore the factor structure of CCRAM10 and to verify its measurement invariance. Data were collected from 1200 Korean adults, and factor analysis along with measurement invariance for gender and age groups was conducted. The analysis indicated that, like the original scale, CCRAM10 appropriately consists of five subfactors and has secured measurement invariance, confirming its usefulness for community resilience research.
