Table 3. Latent and manifest correlations between the BRS and other psychological variables with Cronbach’s α values on the diagonal.
| M | SD | 1. | 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. | 6. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Notes. BRS = Brief Resilience Scale; PSS-4 = Perceived Stress Scale-4; SOP2 = Optimism/Pessimism Scale; ASKU = Short Scale for Measuring General Self-efficacy Beliefs; IEint, IEext = Subscales Internal/External of Short Scale for the Assessment of Locus of Control (IE-4); α = Cronbach’s Alpha, diagonal from top left to lower right. Manifest (Pearson) correlations: below the bold diagonal, N = 1,128; latent correlations based on a six-factor model in CFA above bold diagonal. *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001. | ||||||||
