Abstract: Objective To research the reliability and validity of resilience scale for adults(RSA)in military students.Methods RSA, depression, anxiety and somatization of Self-report Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90)were applied in this survey to 616 military students.Results ①A 5-factor structure of resilience was showed by explorative factor analysis.Each item had a factor loading between 0.423～0.834, and the total variance explained at 58.439%.②The correlations between the subscales of the RSA were all obvious positive, ranging from 0.228～0.580；and the correlations between subscales of the RSA and total resilience were all obvious positive, ranging from 0.565～0.789.③There was a obvious negative correlation between total depression, anxiety and somatization and total resilience, the correlation coefficient was-0.437(n=593, P=0.000).④Tbe reliability coefficient of the RSA was 0.91, and the respective dimensions had Cronbach's alphas between 0.52～0.86.Conclusion The results show that RSA has acceptable reliability and validity in military students.
