- The article discusses the creation and validation of a new self-report resilience scale called the Mount Sinai Resilience Scale (MSRS), which focuses on thoughts and behaviors that enhance resilience rather than just personality traits.
- An online study involving 1,864 U.S. adults was conducted to develop and confirm the scale's effectiveness, revealing a seven-factor structure through exploratory and confirmatory analyses.
- The revised 24-item scale showed strong correlations with other recognized measures of resilience, supporting its validity and suggesting it could be a useful tool in the mental health field.
