title: [Resilience status and impact factors in rural middle school students in Three Gorges areas].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the reliability and validity of the scale RYDM, as well as the resilience status and its impact factors.
  
  
  METHODS
  964 students were investigated. The participants were chosen through the stratified cluster sampling. The software of SPSS 17.0 was used for the analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  (1) RYDM: The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the RYDM was 0.945. The split-half reliability was 0.865. The re-test reliability was 0.838. The correlations between total scale and 2 factor scales were 0.896 and 0.9743 respectively. The correlation between the 2 factor scales was 0.776. (2) The scores on family closeness, family high expectations, community expectation of left-behind children were lower than that of the no-left-behind children (P < 0.05). The protective factors of mental resilience in left-behind children were age, frequency of conflict with the guardian, worry degree about out-working parent(s) (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Reliability and validity of the RYDM scale are psychometrically qualified. The resilience of the left-behind children is worse in some aspects than that of the no-left-behind children, which is influenced most by family factors.
