The Resilience Scale (RS-14) instrument assesses an individual's level of resilience when facing adverse life situations. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the RS-14 in a sample of young adults from Lima and Callao, aged 18 to 29 years old. Initially, a statistical analysis of the items was conducted, revealing satisfactory normality criteria and discriminative capacity. Subsequently, validity evidence was obtained through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), demonstrating a good fit (χ²/df = 1.47, CFI = .94, TLI = .92, SRMR = .04, and RMSEA = .04). Finally, reliability was assessed using both Alpha and Omega coefficients, yielding values of α = .91 and ω = .92, respectively, considered acceptable. In conclusion, the RS-14 is considered a valid and reliable scale for future research endeavors in this domain.
