All too often conceptual models are promoted and described in the literature with little or no empirical evidence to support the beliefs. As there are multiple conceptual models, there is also a plethora of more than 1,000 marriage and family measures available for use in research and by therapists. However, finding a well-designed scale addressing specific constructs is difficult due to a multitude of circumstances.

520 $a All too often conceptual models are promoted and described in the literature with little or no empirical evidence to support the beliefs. As there are multiple conceptual models, there is also a plethora of more than 1,000 marriage and family measures available for use in research and by therapists. However, finding a well-designed scale addressing specific constructs is difficult due to a multitude of circumstances.
520 $a One such conceptual model is the model of family resilience. This model proposes three-pronged approach to family resilience involving three over-arching constructs with each of the three major constructs having three sub-constructs. This study attempted to develop a valid and reliable instrument capable of measuring the model of family resilience.
520 $a This study involved a survey of a sample of 418 participants. Of the participants, 76.08% were female, 85.65% were Caucasian, and 37.80% held a bachelor's degree. A survey instrument, the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS), was developed to aid in understanding how families deal and cope with adversity and provide therapists with an assessment tool identifying resilience concepts.
520 $a After extensive statistical analyses, the findings demonstrate that a six factor structure most appropriately represents the construct of family resilience. This study found women, older adults, white individuals, and higher educated individuals to have statistically significant levels of family resilience on certain subscales. Additionally, individuals who believed their family connection to become closer after experiencing an adverse event showed statically significant results on all subscales and the total scale score.
520 $a Based on the findings of this study, future studies should continue empirical investigations on the FRAS, its psychometric properties, and validation instruments. Both significant findings and nonsignificant findings should be further investigated to lend to the credibility of the FRAS. Future studies may also wish to analyze the open-ended response question's answers as that process was beyond the scope of this study.
