摘要：AbstractSuccessful resilience is a variable often related to an optimal aging process and that might have a role on education. However, literature is rather limited when dealing with assessment instruments for the elderly in the Spanish language. The objective of this work is to examine the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (Sinclair &Wallston, 2004), a four item likert scale, in the Spanish elderly. This scale was administrated to a sample of 920 elderly Spanish participants, and the data set analysed in terms of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency. The scale demonstrated good psychometric properties. Furthermore, the homogeneity indices were higher than in the recent literature, reinforcing the dimensional structure of the scale. These results have shown higher reliability than previous Spanish versions. Therefore, more research on the Brief Resilient Coping Scale is necessary in order to develop a valuable assessment instrument that could be very useful in the assessing of resilience in the Spanish-speaking elderly.
