Özet
This study assesses the validity and reliability of the Multidimensional Individual and Interpersonal Resilience Measure (MIIRM) for older adults in Türkiye, exploring its adaptability to Turkish culture and its association with psychological resilience, perceived social support, and quality of life. A total of 1251 individuals aged 60 and above participated, and data was collected online through snowball sampling. Self-report measures were evaluated using original scoring systems. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a seven-factor structure, explaining 62.971% of the variance. Internal consistency was confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha (.794) and Spearman-Brown Split-Half coefficient (.628). A high positive correlation (r = .620) between Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and MIIRM suggests their interchangeability. Confirmatory factor analysis affirmed the scale’s consistency, with a good fit. Multivariate analysis revealed factors enhancing resilience: Economic status, positive relationships, social support, and quality of life. This study provides a culturally adapted tool for assessing resilience among older adults in Türkiye, contributing to a deeper understanding of strategies to enhance their psychological resilience and filling a significant gap in the literature.
