A proposed French version of the Conservation of Resources Evaluation (COR-E) - 2018.

Conservation of resources (COR) theory (Hobfoll 1988, 1989) attempts to demonstrate how resource fluctuations, in terms of losses, threats, and gains, affect the mental health of individuals. In 1992, Hobfoll, Lilly, and Jackson proposed an assessment of these fluctuations : the Conservation of Resources Evaluation (COR-E). In this experiment, we carried out the French adaptation of the COR-E : the Conservation of Resources Inventory (CRI). The results of three empirical studies are presented in this article. The first study proposes a classification system of the seventy-four resources, while the second and the third explain how the CRI is constructed and validated among first-year university students.
