The purpose of this research was to develop and to validate the ego-resiliency scale for elementary upper grades.
The research questions of this study were as follows:
1. What factors are consisted with the ego-resiliency scale?
2. What are the correlation among sub-factors of the scale?
3. What are the internal consistency for total ego-resiliency scale and sub-factors scale?
4. Does ego-resiliency scale validate in terms of concurrent validity and discriminant validity?
First, this research established 12 factors (recognition, a problem solution strategy & meet of stress, personality stabilization, emotion expression, sympathy(personal relations, penetration, warm heart), self confidence, optimism, family relations, preference of challenge task, family relations, adaptable adaptation in the school. healthy relationship of the age, popularity․recognition) based on previous studies. 55 items were developed. Each items is 4 point Likert scale.
Second, through the exploratory factor analysis 30 items with 7 factors (personal relations, family relations, optimism, popularity․recognition, personality stabilization, recognition, emotion expression) were confirmed as validated solution.
Third, items of each factor were reorganized on the base of factor loading criteria.
The range of Pearson?fs product-moment correlation coefficient of sub-factors were .12?`.50(p<.01).
Internal consistency for the scale was appeared as .60?`.79. Total internal consistency was .84.
Concurrent validity estimates were established through Pearson?fs product-moment correlation analyses with the Parent Form Ego-resiliency Scale of Yoon hyun-hee(1998) (r= .121?`.284, p<.05 or p<.01).
Discriminant validity estimates were established through the t-test analyses between high group of 30 percent and low group of 30 percent that was divided by Stress Scale of Chon Min-pil(1993), Kim Kyoung-Sook(2005)(t=-10.783, p<.001) and School Adjustment Inventory of Song Mi-won(1999)(t=14.125, p<.001).
Thorough these processes, the ego-resiliency scale for elementary school upper grade, that was the purpose of this research, was validated and developed.
