Abstract
The aim of the research was to adapt the full version of Connor-Davidson Resilience
scale (CD-RISC-25) in Latvia to gain qualitative and valid psychological measure of assessing
resilience. Studying the scientific literature has shown multidimensional nature of resilience
construct as well as broaden the knowledge about resilience as complicated psychological
construct which can be affected by different factors rising from one’s individual experience and
the environment where he comes from. Sample (N=186) in age range 18 to 69 years old
(M=37.65; SD=12.07), 75.8% females. Participants filled demographic data questionnaires
and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (Connor & Davidson, 2003). Scale of 25 items, each
rated in 5-point Likert’s scale (0-4), with higher scores reflecting greater resilience. Cronbach’s
Alpha for all items varies from .88 to .90 and for scale total α= .89, which proves good internal
consistency. Test-retest reliability demonstrated a high level of agreement, with an intraclass
correlation coefficient of .93. The Connor-Davidson Resiliency Scale in Latvian sample showed
high internal consistency α = .89 and good psychometric properties, same as noted in other
studies (Connor & Davidson, 2003). This proves CD-RISC-25 as qualitative and a valid
measure for further studies of resilience in Latvian population
