Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) Test - Symptoms and Signs
Resilience is commonly assessed as part of a broader clinical understanding of stress response and recovery. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) is a self-report measure designed to quantify perceived resilience in the context of life stressors and adversity. It was developed by Connor, K. and Davidson, J.
The instrument consists of 25 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Scores provide an estimate of an individual’s perceived capacity to cope with pressure, adapt to change, and persist despite setbacks, and may be used alongside other clinical data to inform case formulation and treatment planning.
In clinical and research settings, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) can be used to monitor change over time, including potential shifts associated with psychotherapy, skills training, or other interventions. Results should be interpreted within the context of the respondent’s current circumstances, symptom burden, and cultural and linguistic considerations, particularly when using non-standard translations or adaptations.
