Individuals have an important place in puberty than 21% of Turkey's population. The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine adolescent acuity. In this framework, a pool containing 76 items was created through the expert opinion and literature review in addition to the composition study conducted with 219 adolescents. After the pilot study, the validity and reliability analysis of the draft form, which was applied to 374 people between the ages of 11-19, was performed. At the end of the exploratory factor analysis (principal component analysis), it was seen that the Adolescent Resilience Scale (ERAS), which was determined to be 37 items, was collected in three factors: rebellion towards family, rebellion towards school and rebellion towards peers. These three factors explained 49% of the total variance. For the whole scale. Cronbach's alpha value of 94 was also found to be high in terms of factors. High correlations and discriminatory item analysis results are indicators of the reliability of the scale. Testing the validity and reliability features with different techniques made the psychometric properties of the scale strong. These psychometric properties indicate that ERAS is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used in studies that require the determination of adolescent rebellion.
