Instrument Overview

The revised Adolescent Resilience Questionnaire (ARQ) consists of 93 items across 12 scales, assessing resilience factors in five domains: individual, family, peers, school, and community. This pen-and-paper questionnaire uses a five-point Likert scale, with responses ranging from 1 (Never) to 5 (All the time). It provides a comprehensive measure by examining resilience at each ecological level relevant to adolescents.
