Description

This function renames columns; converts all columns to numerics; tests if the scores are outside of the scale limits; recodes requiste columns; and calculates a Brief Resilience Scale score on a 10-point scale. The question order should be the three positively worded questions followed by the three negatively worded questions.

Usage

re_10point(start_col, end_col, data)

Arguments

start_col	The column number where the scale begins, reference by number only.
end_col	The column number where the scale end, reference by number only.
data	The reference dataframe.

Note

This function is designed to work with a question order where the first three questions are positive and the second three questions are negative. This function will give inaccurate results if question order is different.
