| description | The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). The sample consisted of 657 Ecuadorian adults. We evaluated internal and construct validity, internal consistency, concurrent validity, and measurement invariance was tested across sex categories. The results show that the structure of two first-order correlated factors presents adequate psychometric properties. Concurrent validity analysis shows that resilience correlates significantly with self-esteem, social support and quality of life dimensions. Finally, psychometric equivalence is evidenced between the models of configural, metric, scalar and residual invariance. The BRS scale is a reliable and valid instrument for research and clinical practice purposes in the Ecuadorian context. |

Esta investigación evaluó las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala Breve de Resiliencia (BRS). La muestra estuvo conformada por 657 adultos ecuatorianos. Se evaluó la validez interna y de constructo, la consistencia interna, la validez concurrente y la invarianza entre sexos. Los resultados de la evaluación de ocho modelos muestran que la estructura de dos factores correlacionados de primer orden presenta buenas propiedades psicométricas. El análisis de validez concurrente muestra que la resiliencia correlaciona significativamente con autoestima, apoyo social y dimensiones de la calidad de vida. Finalmente, se evidencia equivalencia psicométrica entre los modelos de invarianza configural, métrica, escalar y residual. La escala BRS esun instrumento fiable y válido para fines de investigación y práctica clínica en el contexto ecuatoriano.
