Hi Andrea, The authors of the Brief Resilience Scale—Smith, Dalen, Wiggins, Tooley, and Christopher—were originally affiliated with the University of New Mexico’s Department of Psychology. You might try checking their faculty pages there or on platforms like ResearchGate and Google Scholar for current contact information.

In particular, Bruce W. Smith and Jeanne Dalen are sometimes reachable through ResearchGate profiles if you send a message or request access to the original paper. You can also find their article here, which includes institutional affiliations that could help you track them down.

If you're looking to use the BRS in your own research, a polite email detailing your request and intended use is usually well received.
