We administered survey among 330 individuals (18-24 years) from Slovenia. Next central questionnaires, also measured with another scale, along coping strategies, anxiety, depression, quality life. For both scales, one-factor structures fitted data well demonstrated good internal consistency. CYRM-12 BRS showed positive associations scale adaptive negative maladaptive contribution predicting life (with demonstrating somewhat greater predictive value for than BRS), pointing convergent, discriminant, incremental validity, respectively.
