This study explores associations between scores on the Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents (RSCA), parent education level, and race/ethnicity in a normative sample of 450 children. Small but significant associations were found between parent education level and the RSCA Sense of Relatedness Scale score. Race/ethnicity did not contribute unique variance when parent education level was controlled.
Cette recherche explore les relations entre les scores sur les Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents (RSCA; Prince-Embury, 2007; Échelles de résilience pour enfants et adolescents), le niveau de scolarité des parents et la race/l'ethnie chez un échantillon normatif de 450 enfants. Des associations petites, mais significatives, ont été observées entre la scolarité des parents et le score sur la sous-échelle « Sentiment d'appartenance » des RSCA. Par contre, la variance unique de la race/ethnie n'était pas significative lorsque nous contrôlions pour la scolarité des parents.
