Popis: In adolescence there are different challenges that the subjects will face depending on the internal and external resources they have. The aim of the study was to carry out the adaptation and validation of the School Resilience Scale- E.R.E. To do this, data was collected from two independent samples of high school students from ¬¬¬an educational institution in San Juan de Pasto, Colombia: one of them with 300 adolescents between 11 and 16 years old (M= 13.34; SD= 1 ,31) with which the exploratory factorial analysis of the instrument was performed; and the second with 300 adolescents between 11 and 16 years old (M= 13.47, DE= 1.40) with whom the confirmatory factor analysis was performed. The results revealed two statistically robust dimensions with 26 items: internal resources and external resources, with an ordinal alpha of .92 for the entire scale. In conclusion, this research shows that the E.R.E is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring resilience in the Colombian adolescent population.
