摘要

Academic resilience is the capacity of students who encounter various risk factors to show positive adaptation despite these difficulties. The aim of this study is to develop a multidimensional scale, based on Ecological Systems Theory, to determine adolescent students’ levels of academic resilience and the resources of academic resilience they have. For this purpose, a scale study was carried out with a sample group consisting of 695 students who continue their secondary and high school education. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to find out the factor structure of the developed scale. A scale consisting of 27 items and four sub-dimensions was formed. Confirmatory Factor Analysis revealed that the scale’s factor structure showed good fit. Secondary factor analysis also confirmed that the sub-dimensions meaningfully converged under the superstructure of academic resilience. The findings show that all sub-dimensions made a meaningful contribution to the superstructure. Furthermore, negative relationships were found between academic resilience and school burnout, while positive relationships were found with school attachment.
