Background: This study aimed to develop and validate the first Interactive Resilience Scale (IRS) based on theoretical foundations and the Iranian cultural context within the framework of war crises and collective trauma.
Methods: This applied and descriptive study was conducted using psychometric methods and factor analysis. The statistical population consisted of adults aged 45 to 60 residing in Zanjan, Iran, from which 380 individuals were selected through convenience sampling. The research instruments included the newly developed Multidimensional Interactive Resilience Scale (MIRS), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Zimet’s Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The initial item pool was generated through a literature review, and the scale items were subsequently designed by psychometric and psychology experts based on identified components. Face validity was confirmed by 12 respondents from the target group, and content validity was qualitatively evaluated and approved by 10 experts and scholars.
Results: Following several refinement stages, items were eliminated due to low factor loading, cross-loading, or factor inconsistency. Ultimately, 20 items remained in the final version. Results of the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) supported a robust and highly reliable five-factor structure: “Mutual Support and Interpersonal Trust,” “Empathy and Relational Belonging,” “Emotion Regulation in Interactions,” “Bond Stability under Pressure,” and “Purposeful Relational Agency,” each measured by four items.
Conclusion: A key feature of this scale is its focus on the interactive components of resilience within the Iranian cultural context, distinguishing it from existing resilience measures. This indigenous and innovative tool can be utilized in future research and intervention programs to effectively enhance and monitor psychosocial resilience during crises and complex societal situations.
