Abstract

Introduction: The current study seeks to make and validate a questionnaire to measure national psychosocial resilience, taking into account the previous research on the definitions of this construct.
Method: Considering the definitions, 48 initial questions were designed, and after receiving the views of the political, psychological, and defense experts, they were administered to 50 people. Then the collected data were analyzed, and finalized questionnaire was administered to the final sample                   (n ₌ 350).
Results: The results of this study showed that total Cronbach's alpha was 0.96, and the results of the exploratory factor analysis by main components method showed eight fundamental factors. Apart from a question that did not show a significant factor load with any of the eight factors of the questionnaire, other questions of the eight factors indicated appropriate factor load.
Discussion: The results of the validation of the National Psychosocial Resilience Questionnaire and reliability assessment indicate that this questionnaire will be suitable for future research.
