Abstract
ABSTRACTResilience among military populations is critical to symptom prevention and research. The authors examine the factor structure of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the Dispositional Resilience Scale used to measure resilience and hardiness among U.S. Airmen. Data for this study comes from the 2013 Community Assessment Survey (N = 45,634). The sample was randomly divided into exploratory (n = 22,693) and confirmatory (n = 22,941) factor analyses subsets, subsequently used to test the factor structure of each scale. Neither instrument fully performed as anticipated according to the literature, suggesting the need for additional research into the unique challenges of accurately measuring resilience and hardiness among U.S. Airmen.
