The number of 190 athletes (male:67; female:123) with physical disabilities and with various skill levels were selected from different sports using random cluster sampling to complete the Persian version of a new short resilience scale. Construct validity, internal consistency, and temporal reliability were assessed using SEM-based confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach alpha, and intraclass correlation coefficients based on test-retest method, respectively. The results showed that the short resilience scale had acceptable fit index, internal consistency, and temporal reliability, indicating good validity and reliability of the Persian version of this scale. Based on research findings The Persian version of this new short resilience scale developed for athletes with physical disabilities has acceptable validity and reliability for Iranian athletes and can be used as a valid and reliable instrument by trainers, athletes, and researchers.
