Sažetak
The aim of this poster is to present metric characteristics of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS) on Croatian sample. Sixbey (2005) developed the Family Resilience Assessment Scale to aid in understanding how families deal and cope with adversity. The process of validation involved translating the scale to Croatian and back-translating it to English. The translation was reviewed (involving two independent researchers) in order to ensure that content validity was not lost in the translation process and that the scale had cultural validity for the Croatian context. In the research, parents of first grade schools students from secondary schools Ivan Svear in Ivanic Grad and The First high school in Zagreb were included in research (N=219, 53.9% of mothers and 46.1% fathers). Factor analysis of shortened version of the instrument (54 variables) point to six-factor solution that explains 48.89% of the variance: Family communication and problem solving, Making sense of adversity, Neighbors support, Family spirituality, Family connection and Security and support in the community. Obtained factor solution was similar to the original model (Sixbey, 2005). Reliability of four scales is satisfactory (α from .65 to .92), while two scales have lower reliability (Making sense of adversity, α= .58, Neighbors support, α= .60). Descriptive data indicate a negative asymmetry of results distribution on all factors, and high results values that may indicate low sensitivity of the instrument. Proposals for instrument improvement will be discussed in the poster.
