Validation of the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale: the Case of Russian Youth
Frontiers in Psychiatry. 2021. Vol. 12. Article 611026.
This study validates the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) on the Russian youth sample. A total of 689 respondents participated (Mage = 20.22, SDage = 2.08; 526 females). The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, the Positive and Negative Affects Schedule, the Centre of Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Authenticity Scale were used to examine the content validity of CD-RISC-10. Two hypotheses were examined: that the Russian version of the CD-RISC-10 1) has structural validity (is unifactorial, as the original version) and 2) has convergent validity (which is proven by positive connections with psychological wellbeing and negative connections with ill-being). According to CFA, it was shown that the scale really had a unifactorial structure; its reliability was satisfactory (α = .85, ωh = .84). No age trends in the CD-RISC-10 scores were detected; in males, the scores were higher than in females. As expected, CD-RISC-10 was positively connected with mental wellbeing, positive affect, self-esteem, and authentic living while negatively with depressive symptoms, negative affect, accepting external influence, and self-alienation. The Russian version of CD-RISC-10 seems to be a valid, stable, and reliable instrument which may be recommended for use in various areas of research and practice.

Everyday routines are a key yet understudied mechanism by which young people embed pro-environmental concerns and values into their everyday lives. Drawing on structuration and practice theory, this paper examines how the routinization of environmental behaviour of modern youth occurs, that is, how and under what conditions it becomes a stable part of the everyday ...

Hypergraphs provide a natural framework for representing neurophysiological interactions distributed across sets of sensors. A key methodological question is how hyperedges should be defined from frequency-resolved electroencephalography/magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) data. We demonstrate a construction strategy in which hyperedges are obtained from canonical coherence (caCOH), an extension of coherence that estimates coupling between multidimensional signal spaces. To ...

Musical training has a significant impact on brain organization, leading to functional and structural
adaptations that enhance auditory, visual, motor, and cognitive processes. This study investigates how
extensive musical training shapes functional brain connectivity by comparing professional musicians and
non-musicians. Using EEG phase-locking value (PLV) analysis, we examined neural synchronization across
alpha, beta, and gamma frequency ranges during music ...

Abstract
Context and relevance. In the context of accelerated urbanization and a growing disconnect from the natural
environment, there is increasing interest in biophilic attitudes — a system of stable views, beliefs, and
evaluations that reflect a person’s relationship with living nature and shape their psychological well-being and
environmentally responsible behavior. Existing tools for their measurement, such as the ...

Precarious manhood theory (PMT) explains men's compensatory responses to masculinity threats in domains such as affect, aggression, risk-taking, dominance, and social attitudes. While recent meta-analytic evidence suggests that masculinity threat has a small-to-medium average effect, recent preregistered replication work has failed to reproduce some influential masculinity-threat effects in a large representative sample, raising questions about ...
