Resilience is an emerging topic in Psychology that has raised the interest of the scientific community over the last decade. Not surprisingly, most of the research work in this field have been focused in inherent tools that measures this variable. However, the literature is rather limited when dealing questionnaires in Spanish language. The objective of this work is to reexamine the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (Sinclair y Wallston, 2004), a four item likert scale, in Spanish University students. For this propose, the scale was administrated to a sample of 530 participants, and the data set analysed in terms of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The scale demonstrated good psychometric properties with regards to the CFA.
