Abstract

The objective of this study was to obtain evidence about the cross-cultural validity of the ‘Subjective Resilience Questionnaire’ (SRQ), comparing French and Spanish Secondary and High School students’ results. A total of 750 French students formed the sample. To validate the SRQ, confirmatory factor analyses, reliability and correlation and regression analyses were made. The validation process included the analysis of the generalizability of factor structure, and of relationships of resilience scores with different kinds of protective and vulnerability factors — success expectancies and learning-oriented classroom motivational climate (CMC). French results were similar to Spanish results, underlying the importance of considering variations in resilience as a function of the kinds of adversity experienced. Nevertheless, some differences between French and Spanish students were found in the degree they recognize to act in a resilient way in some of the situations covered by SRQ, differences whose theoretical and practical implications for education are discussed.

Resumen

Este estudio busca obtener evidencia sobre la validez transcultural del ‘Cuestionario de Resiliencia Subjetiva’ (Subjective Resilience Questionnaire, SRQ) comparando los resultados obtenidos a partir de alumnos franceses con los de alumnos españoles de Secundaria y bachillerato. Un total de 750 alumnos franceses integraron la muestra. Para validar el SRQ se realizaron análisis factoriales confirmatorios, de fiabilidad, de correlaciones y de regresión. El proceso de validación incluyó el análisis de la generalizabilidad de la estructura factorial y el de la relación de las puntuaciones en resiliencia con diferentes tipos de factores protectores y de vulnerabilidad — expectativas de éxito y clima motivacional de clase orientado al aprendizaje (CMC). Los resultados de Francia fueron similares a los de España. No obstante, se encontraron diferencias en el grado en que los alumnos reconocen actuar de forma resiliente en algunas situaciones cubiertas por el SRQ, diferencias cuyo significado teórico y práctico se comenta.
