Resilience enables the effective management of change which may present in a variety of ways, including worksite situations, personal interactions, and health behavior. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a resilience scale and to investigate whether resilience is pertinent to health education. To accomplish this, three steps were taken: (1) a literature review was undertaken to ascertain the theoretical value of resilience, (2) a scale to measure of resilience was examined, and (3) the differences between exercisers and non-exercisers were compared.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Resilience enables the effective management of change which may present in a variety of ways, including worksite situations, personal interactions, and health behavior. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a resilience scale and to investigate whether resilience is pertinent to health education. To accomplish this, three steps were taken: (1) a literature review was undertaken to ascertain the theoretical value of resilience, (2) a scale to measure of resilience was examined, and (3) the differences between exercisers and non-exercisers were compared.
520 $a The research on resilience was synthesized into a coordinating framework which delineated the contributions from several disparate disciplines. Resilience was defined as the process whereby an individual successfully recovers from a change through efforts to assess a situation, remain undeterred by frustration or adversity, and modify behavior or environment so that a successful solution can be selected and implemented. Resilience is a cumulative process that continues to evolve throughout life.
520 $a No existing measure of resilience could be located in the literature. Thus, the Personal Resilience $\ sp{\rm TM} $ Questionnaire (PRQ) (ODR, Inc., 1993), a measure used extensively in the corporate world, was examined for its appropriateness in measuring resilience. It measures seven sub-scales, or attributes, of resilience. Output scores are presented as a synergistic profile.
520 $a This study consisted of a secondary analysis of worksite data (N = 12,018) collected by ODR, Inc. using the PRQ. An exploratory factor analysis of the PRQ scale items determined that five of the original seven sub-scales were represented in greater detail by seven new factors. The resulting resilience scales were Identity, Cognitive Flexibility, Self-Efficacy, and Social Support, Organization, Optimism, and Social Comfort. The new factor structure proved to be quite stable over the two gender subpopulations. Recommendations on use of the scales were delineated.
520 $a Finally, a multivariate analysis of variance conducted on exercise frequency data revealed statistically significant and meaningful differences between exercisers and non-exercisers on many of the resilience subscales. The results were discussed within the major parameters of health education, including health behavior change, program development, program evaluation, and future research implications.
