Résumé
"Successful resilience is a variable often related to an opt i mal a g- ing process. However, literature is rather limited when dealing with asses s- ment instruments for the elderly in the Spanish language. The objective of this work is to validate the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (Sinclair & Wallston, 2004), a four item likert scale, in the Spa n ish elderly. For this propose, the scale was administrated to a sample of 991 elderly Spanish participants, and the data set analysed in terms of exploratory and confir m- atory factor analysis, internal consistency and criterion validity. The scale demonstrated good psychometric properties. Furthermore, the homogene i- ty indices wer e higher than the recently literature, reinforcing the dime n- sional structure of the scale. These results have shown higher reliability from previous Spanish versions. Therefore, the Brief Resilient Coping Scale is a va l uable assessment instrument that coul d be very useful in the a s sessing of resilience in the Spanish - speaking elderly."
