  • 1.  Measures of resilience

    Posted 05-02-2017 15:05
    Dear All:

    I am looking for measures of fragility and resilience in higher education, particularly for measuring international student resilience as they negotiate human and organizational systems they may consider alien and unyielding. 

    Much appreciated,

    Ali.

    Hi Ali,

    Perhaps existing measures of psychological hardiness tap into what you're looking to assess? Check out Michael Cole's work (which includes measures for employees and students):

    Cole, M. S., Bruch, H., & Vogel, B. (2006). Emotion as mediators of the relations between perceived supervisor support and psychological hardiness on employee cynicism. Journal of Organizational Behavior, 27, 463-484.

    Cole, M. S., Harris, S. G., & Feild, H. S. (2004). Stages-of-learning motivation: Development and validation of a measure. Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 34, 1421-1456.

    Cole, M. S., Feild, H. S., & Harris, S. G. (2004). Student learning motivation and psychological hardiness: Interactive effects on students' reactions to a management class. Academy of Management Learning and Education, 3, 64-85.

    Cheers,

    Jeremy
