“…Another limitation is related to the use of resilience-related constructs when evaluating the criterion validity of the resilience scales. The BRS and BRCS literature has adopted various scales to analyse the criterion validity of these scales, namely the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale [1,20], the Brief COP [1,19], the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [1,20] and the Optimism/Pessimism Scale [18,19]. To avoid using a long questionnaire in a validated Chinese version, this study used the following renowned resilience-related constructs, also used in the BRS and BRCS literature: the SWLS [3,24], the WHO-5 [19], the LOT-R [1,3], the GSE [3,18], the PANAS [1,3] and the GHQ-12 [19,21].…”
