Abstract

The PRF-1 scale was developed to analyze the personal factors of resilience in a group of 113 women displaced by violence in Colombia. For this we conducted a psychometric cutting, quantitative and explanatory study. Factor analysis of the scale indicates the presence of 13 latent factors around which the information is organized. We found out that women are more resilient at intermediate and older age, while young women are inconsistent. It's note that the presence of resilient attitudes is explained especially in relation to altruism and openness to others.
