Academic Resilience Scale

The Academic Resilience Scale measures the capacity of students to withstand and recover from academic adversity, including setbacks, failures, and difficult transitions. Developed by Cassidy in 2016, the ARS-30 conceptualizes resilience as a dynamic, multidimensional process involving perseverance, adaptive help-seeking, and emotional regulation—not a fixed trait. This instrument is invaluable for identifying students at risk of academic disengagement, evaluating resilience-building interventions, and understanding how students adapt to challenge.
