Background: The Resistance to trauma Test: TRauma is an instrument designed to assess six dimensions involving personal strengths or resources that promote coping with difficult life situations. In addition, an overall score is obtained that is conceptually equivalent to the concept of resilience. The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties and factorial structure of the TRauma in a sample of subjects affected by a traumatic event.
Method: Participants were 222 people affected by a traumatic life event (36.5% males), with ages ranging between 18 and 71 years.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supports the theoretical internal structure proposed for the instrument. Moreover, the reliability coefficients of the six scales and the total score are both acceptable.
Conclusions: Overall, the findings of this study support the use of the TRauma to measure factors of personal strengths and resilience. However, these results do not exhaust the validation process of the TRauma, and it is necessary to continue to seek empirical evidence.

Introduction: Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is popular in smoking research to study time-varying processes and design just-in-time personalised cessation interventions. Yet, research examining the psychometric properties of EMA and user experiences with EMA protocols is lacking. We conducted a mixed-methods study to test the EMA component of a mobile intervention for middle to late-aged adolescents (16-20 years) who smoke cigarettes at least weekly.
