On Structure and Questionnaire of Resilience for Left-behind Children in Rural China
To explore the structure of resilience,a questionnaire for Left-behind Children in Rural China(RLBC)was compiled.In this study,the initial scale was formed through semi-structured interviews and open coding,and a theoretical model of stress re-sistance was constructed.The cluster random sampling method was used to select 550 left-behind children in rural areas for prelimi-nary and formal testing,respectively,as well as the reliability and validity tests.The results show that RLBC contains eight factors(adversity beliefs,community integration,positive cognition,problem-solving,family support,emotional regulation,school adjust-ment,and peer support).The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the total scores and the dimension scores of each factor were 0.73 to 0.81,split-half reliability was 0.83,and test-retest reliability was 0.90,indicating that the questionnaire's reliability was good.Confirma-tory factor analysis had good fit(χ2/df=1.21,GFI=0.90,TLI=0.91,CFI=0.90,RMSEA=0.039,P=0.001).The total score of resilience and each factor were significantly positively correlated with the scores of the criterion questionnaire(r=0.30-0.62,P＜0.01),and the questionnaire has a good criterion correlation validity.Descriptive statistical analysis found that the resilience level of left-behind girls was better than that of boys,and the"left-behind time effect"still existed.The higher the parents'education level,the more conducive to the resilience development of Left-behind Children in Rural China.The study suggests the Questionnaire of Resilience for Left-behind Children in Rural China has good reliability and validity.It can be used to assess the resilience of left-behind chil-dren.
