    • Use separately, together, or in conjunction with other symptom-based measures to obtain a balanced view.
    • Identify children who indicate low personal resources or high vulnerability before emergence of symptoms.
    • Compare a child’s experience of personal resources with his or her experience of emotional reactivity.
    • Easily interpret and discuss results with children, teachers, and parents.

    Features

    Scales are comprised of three stand-alone global scales of 20 to 24 questions each and ten subscales.

    • Sense of Mastery Scale: assesses optimism, self-efficacy, and adaptability.
    • Sense of Relatedness Scale: assess trust, support, comfort, tolerance.
    • Emotional Reactivity Scale: assess sensitivity, recovery, impairment.
    • Scales focus on strengths as well as symptoms and vulnerabilities.
    • Third-grade reading level allows use with those who have special needs, including reading difficulty.
    • Normed and compatible with the Beck Youth Inventories Second Edition to link a Resiliency Profile with specific symptoms for more targeted treatment planning.
