Resilience in Context: A brief and culturally grounded measure for Syrian refugee and Jordanian host-community adolescents
An Arabic version of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM) was developed and tested in Jordan
Abstract
Validated measures are needed for assessing resilience in conflict settings. An Arabic version of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM) was developed and tested in Jordan. Following qualitative work, surveys were implemented with male/female, refugee/nonrefugee samples (N = 603, 11바카라 사이트�18 years). Confirmatory factor analyses tested three바카라 사이트恌actor structures for 28바카라 사이트� and 12바카라 사이트恑tem CYRMs and measurement equivalence across groups. CYRM바카라 사이트�12 showed measurement reliability and face, content, construct (comparative fit index = .92바카라 사이트�.98), and convergent validity. Gender바카라 사이트恉ifferentiated item loadings reflected resource access and social responsibilities. Resilience scores were inversely associated with mental health symptoms, and for Syrian refugees were unrelated to lifetime trauma exposure. In assessing individual, family, and community바카라 사이트恖evel dimensions of resilience, the CYRM is a useful measure for research and practice with refugee and host바카라 사이트恈ommunity youth.
