Abstract
This study aimed at building the Psychological Vaccine Scale (PVS), which reveals the underlying psychological immunity to trauma and stressful events. The study employed the descriptive approach, the scale was con-structed and applied to a sample of Palestinian university students. The validity and reliability of the scale were verified. Subsequently, the scale was administered to a sample consisting of (561) male and female students from Palestinian universities enrolled during the academic year (2022-2023). Appropriate statistical analyses were conducted, including exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The results revealed that the PVS items loaded onto six factors. These factors are: positive thinking, psychological hardness, optimism, emotional maturity, resilience and emotional intelligence. The findings indicated that the scale exhibited discriminant validity, convergent validity, and composite reliability. The study also demonstrated that the PVS comprises both sub-factors and an overall factor.
