| Sumario: | University students face various challenges that can generate high levels of stress, which may have negative consequences for their health as well as their academic performance. Resilience plays a key role in students' ability to cope with and overcome the difficulties of this educa-tional stage. One of the most common means of assessing resilience is the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). This study examined the psychometric prop-erties of the BRS among a sample of Honduran university students. The sample comprised 791 students (Mage = 26.29 years, SD = 8.02). The relia-bility, construct validity, and concurrent and divergent validity of the BRS were evaluated. Moreover, measurement invariance by sex, floor effects, and ceiling effects were analyzed. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported the two-factor structure of the BRS, and the results ex-hibited acceptable reliability indices. Measurement invariance was observed between men and women. This study provides preliminary evidence of the Spanish version of the BRS being a reliable and valid instrument with which to assess resilience among university students in Honduras. |
