This study investigated psychometric properties of the Suicide Resilience Inventory-25 (SRI-25) in a diverse sample of 239 college students. Participants completed the SRI-25, Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the 3 dimensions described by SRI-25 authors (A. Osman et al., 2004 Osman , A. , Gutierrez , P. M. , Muehlenkamp , J. J. , Dix-Richardson , F. , Barrios , F. X. , & Kopper , B. A. ( 2004 ). Suicide Resiliency Inventory-25: Development and preliminary psychometric properties . Psychological Reports , 94 , 1349 – 1360 .[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]): internal protective, emotional stability, and external protective. Correlations with the BHS (r = − .68) and SIQ (r = − .67) supported the scale's validity, although the external protective subscale and MSPSS were only moderately correlated (r = .47). Overall, the SRI-25's reliability and validity support its use in suicide research. Implications for exploring young adults' resilience in the face of suicidal thoughts via clinical interview or administration of the SRI-25 are discussed as they create an opportunity to potentially infuse hope, tap into strengths, and identify avenues for positive change
