Objetive:

To know psychometric behavior in a sample of Colombian individuals of the Scale of Protective Factors (SPF-24, Ponce-García, Madewell, & Kennison, 2015).

Method:

A non-randomized sample (n: 190), aged between 15 and 65 years old. 51% of the sample were female who answered SPF24 and the Community Resilience Scale (Ruiz, 2015).

Results:

Internal reliability for full scale was 0,93, and from 0,83 to 0,86, according each scale. Factor analysis showed four main dimensions: social support, social skills, planning and goals efficacy. The first two factors correspond to the original study dimensions. In addition, a higher individual resilience was associated with higher levels of community resilience, especially with communal coping.

Discussion and Conclusions:

SPF-24 shows successful coefficients of internal reliability, construct validity and concurrent validity in relation to community resilience indicators. More research is required about the predictive and concurrent validity of SPF-24.
