90 chapter 3 APPENDIX A 6-items version of the Transilience Scale We acknowledge that, in certain research settings, it may not be practical or desirable to use a scale with 12 items due to time or resource constraints. In those cases, we recommend using the six items version of the Transilience scale (see Table A1 below), including the items that best capture our definition of the three dimensions of transilience (i.e., persistence, adaptability, and transformability) while maintaining high levels of internal consistency (see Supplementary Material). We ran again all the analyses for both Study 1 and Study 2 using the 6-items version of the transilience scale. The results remain almost identical to those found with the overall 12-items scale (see details in Supplementary Material). As such, the 6-items scale showed similar performance to the 12-item scale. The advantage of the short transilience scale is its ease of inclusion in studies that aim to minimize questionnaire length without significantly compromising scale validity. However, if transilience is a crucial aspect of the study, and if precise measurement accuracy is desired, we recommend using the 12-items version of the scale Table A1. 6-items version of the Transilience Scale, recommended in case of studies that aim to minimize questionnaire length without significantly compromising scale validity. We recommend using the 12-items version to maximise measurement accuracy. Persistence 1. I can be persistent. 2. I can stay determined. Adaptability 3. I think I can take different actions to deal with this. 4. I believe I can find multiple means to deal with this. Transformability 5. I can grow as a person by dealing with this. 6. I can learn something good by dealing with this.
