Psychometric Validation of the CD-RISC-10 Among Chinese Construction Project High-Place Workers

Individuals with high psychological resilience cope with stress more effectively. It is crucial to select a suitable psychological resilience tool for workers in high-risk industries to identify and help those with lower resilience early on, protecting their health and reducing accidents. The CD-RISC-10 is widely used, and this study assessed its validity and reliability among Chinese construction workers, focusing on workers on elevated platforms. A total of 325 valid CD-RISC-10 scales were collected and analyzed using statistical methods, such as exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and K-means cluster analysis. The results show that the CD-RISC-10 can effectively measure psychological resilience with a high scale reliability of 0.857, and it had an acceptable model fit (CFI = 0.947) and good item discrimination. About 17.23% of the measured sample of Chinese workers working at height were identified as having resilience impairments, and demographic variables such as age, length of service, educational level, and accident experience had a significant impact on the level of resilience, revealing the heterogeneity of the workers. This study validated the measurement validity of the CD-RISC-10 scale among Chinese high-place workers, and the analysis results were conducive to conducting psychological resilience assessments, improving workers’ occupational health, and promoting the sustainable development of construction enterprises.
