The score is calculated by adding up the points. For the interpretation of the level of resilience, the recommendation is as follows: 13–66 = low; 67–72 = moderate; 73–91 = high. For norms and percentile ranks refer to (18). Re-print of the German version of the Resilience Scale courtesy of Verlag Vandenhoeck und Ruprecht (18).
