Abstract: Abstract This study aims to examine the psychometric properties and grouping effect of the Resilience Style Questionnaire (RSQ) among Chinese poor children and adolescents. A cross-sectional survey of resilience and other variables (i.e. mental well-being, loneliness, anxiety, depression, stress and peer relationship) was conducted among 2267 participants aged 12 to 17. Results found that the RSQ had good factor structure and criterion validities. Resilience was positively related to mental well-being and peer relationship, and negatively related to loneliness, anxiety, depression, and stress. The RSQ was a useful screening tool to differentiate individuals with different levels of resilience related to health outcomes. At-risk individuals reported more health problems and poorer peer relationships than others. The results suggested that the RSQ could be applied in practice for resilience interventions among poor children and adolescents in China.
