Objective: This study examined the mediating effect of psychological resilience on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and perceived social support with health behaviors and emotional well-being. Method: In a sample consisting of 409 boy adolescents, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Special Support (MSPSS), the Stress Appraisal Measure-Revised (SAM-R), Adolescent Resilience Scale (ARS), Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were administered. Structural equation modeling was used to assess the mediating effects model of psychological resilience on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and perceived social support with health behaviors and emotional well-being. Results: Results showed that the complete mediated model of psychological resilience on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and perceived social support and health behaviors and emotional well-being had a good fit to data. Furthermore, all of the regression weights in the hypothesized model were statistically significant and the psychological resilience variable accounted for 25%, 12% and 11% of the variance in health behavior, positive affect, and negative affect, respectively. Conclusion: In sum, these findings show that the part of the available variance in health behaviors and subjective well-being in the context of prediction these behavioral and emotional models by cognitive appraisals and perceived social support accounted for adolescents' psychological resilience.

Objective: The main purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Brief Religious Coping Scale (BRCS, Pargament, Koenig & Perez, 2000) among male and female cancer patients. 155 cancer patients (119 female, 36 male) completed the Brief Religious Coping Scale. Method: The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods and internal consistency coefficients were used to compute the BRCS's factorial validity and reliability, respectively. Results: The results of principal component analysis (PC) with varimax rotation replicated 2-factor structure of positive and negative religious coping strategies for cancer patients. Goodness-of-fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the 2 extracted factors. Internal consistency coefficients for positive and negative religious coping strategies were 0/85 and 0/80, respectively. Conclusion: In sum, BRCS appears to be a good instrument that does what it was intended to do: assess religious methods of coping in an efficient, psychometrically sound, and theoretically meaningful manner
