The Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC): Testing the invariance of a uni-dimensional resilience measure that is independent of positive and negative affect (2010, background): “Similar positive well-being measures are now widely incorporated into national health surveys including the Health and Retirement Survey and the National Survey of Midlife Development (e.g. Ryff, Keyes, & Hughes, 2004), and the German Socioeconomic Panel (e.g. Van Landeghem, 2008).”
