The paper describes the Polish adaptation of The Childbearing Questionnaire (CBQ), authored by Warren Miller. The questionnaire measures positive and negative motives for parenthood: general dispositions to react favorably or unfavorably to various aspects of childbearing. We present the theoretical framework of the questionnaire, its content and the process of its adaptation to the Polish cultural setting. Reliability and validity of the Polish version of the CBQ were established in the pilot study on a sample of 203 childless men and women, aged 20-40. We assessed the internal consistency of the subscales and performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to verify the assumed structure of the questionnaire. We applied Structural Equation Modeling to confirm the theoretically expected relations between childbearing motives, desires and intentions. The results document good psychometric properties of the questionnaire, although some suggestions for enhancements and more in-depth studies are also formulated.

The aim of the presented study was to conduct a Polish adaptation of the Decisional Balance Scale by W. Velicer et al. The attempt was also made to answer a question about the differences in the area of decisional balance in addicts who complete or break therapy, continue abstinence after treatment and those who return to drinking. Research was conducted on 397 alcohol addicted persons who begin a therapy. Patients who completed treatment were retested in the last week of stay at the Centre. A group of people maintaining abstinence one year after the start of therapy and those who returned to drinking were distinguished. The Decisional Balance Scale by Velicer et al. and the Motivation Questionnaire to Maintain Abstinence from Alcohol by Ziółkowski were used. Results. The Polish version of the Scale was found to be reliable and valid method. Principal component analysis identified 2 factors (like in original version). Differences within a single dimension of decisional balance between people who completed and those who broke therapy were noted. In the course of therapy an increase in decisional balance scale, advantage of arguments against drinking was proved.

Normative studies of the Polish adaptation of Th e Ruff Figural Fluency Test (RFFT) were conducted on 475 men and women aged 16-79, taking into consideration such factors as gender, education, and place of residence. Clinical studies were also performed on a group of patients with left -, right-, or bilateral hemispheric brain lesions, Parkinson’s disease, Huntingon’s disease, progressive obturational lung disease, dementia and depression. Th e results support the utility of the RFFT as a measure of executive functions. Th e validity and reliability indices of the Polish version of the test are similar to those reported by Ruff (1996). However, the sample Polish test performance differs notably from American samples performance and this difference is discussed.

Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS; Simons & Gaher, 2005) measures individual differences in experiencing and enduring negative emotional states. It consists of four dimensions: tolerance of perceived distress, assessment and acceptance of emotions, absorption of attention, and emotion regulation. The study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a Polish adaptation of the Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS). A total of 1,210 individuals aged between 18 and 69 participated in the study (45% men, 51% women). After obtaining a Polish translation, we conducted EFA and CFA to examine the validity of the construct. EFA revealed a two-factor structure of the DTS, with Regulation as a separate factor. The original and modified CFA model with Regulation as a separate first-order factor showed an unsatisfactory fit to the data. Better CFA parameters were obtained with the reduced, three-factor version of the DTS. Four- and three-factor versions both show good internal consistency, temporal stability, convergent, and discriminant validity, with the exception of the Regulation subscale. As expected, distress tolerance is positively associated with positive affectivity, satisfaction with life, and self-control ability, but negatively with negative affectivity, perceived stress, and difficulties in emotion regulation. Men declared higher levels of distress tolerance than women. The Regulation subscale showed the weakest validity results; in terms of content, it seems to deviate from the concept of distress tolerance. With all those findings in mind, we recommend the valid and reliable three-factor version to be used in further studies.

The aim of this article was to present a Polish adaptation of the Multidimensional Existential Meaning Scale (MEMS) developed by George and Park (2017). The scale proposes a tripartite view of meaning in life, measuring it in three different dimensions: Comprehension, Purpose, and Mattering, which is a new interesting approach to the conceptualization of this factor from a broader, existential perspective. The scale testing procedure involved a research sample consisting of 401 participants. In addition to the MEMS scale, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) and the Purpose in Life Test (PIL) were used. The results obtained with the Polish version confirmed its reliability and validity, and the three-factor structure. The Cronbach’s α coefficient was .91 for the entire scale and oscillated between .72 and .89 for the subscales. The Polish MEMS contains 9 items; therefore, it is a short tool which can be successfully used in research on meaning in life.

The aim of the article is twofold: to introduce a Polish adaptation of the Self-Talk Scale (STS) by Brinthaupt et al. (2009), including psychometric properties of the method, and to present some empirical results focusing on relationships between inner speech and other variables, like temperamental and personality traits, selected features of characteristic adaptations, and the self. In a Polish sample of 1,321 participants (770 women) aged 18–70 years ( M = 26.62, SD = 8.30), the internal structure of the scale consisting of self-criticism, self-reinforcement, self- management, and social assessment was confirmed with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), which showed an acceptable fit of the four-function model to the empirical data. However, according to EFA, two functions, self- management and social assessment, constituted one common factor. Internal consistency of the total score was high, α = .87 and .88, in two samples, as well as for particular functions, from .73 to .85. Validity of the STS was confirmed with the Internal Dialogical Activity Scale – Revised (Oleś et al., 2020). Moreover, STS results corresponded with traits like endurance and neuroticism; characteristic adaptation, like love for life; characteristics of the self, like reflection and rumination; and slightly with tolerance for ambiguity.

The four-factor structure and psychometric properties of the Polish students adaptation of the Buss and Perry (1992) Aggression Questionnaire were investigated. The exploratory factor analyses of the responses of 604 Polish participants generally supported the four-factor model. The factors included Physical Aggression, Verbal Aggression, Anger and Hostility. The correlations between subscales, internal consistency and stability over time were evaluated and proved to be satisfactory. Apart from gender differences, 48 prison inmates and 48 students were interviewed to determine the validity of the Aggression Questionnaire by testing for hypothesized differences between groups. Aggression Questionnaire showed cross-cultural differences in aggression between various nations.

The aim of this study (N = 713) was to adapt the Appearance Schemas Inventory–Revised into Polish and evaluate its psychometric properties. The ASI-R is a widely used tool for measuring appearance schemas, but it is currently not available in Polish. The adaptation of the ASI-R has the potential to fill this gap and encourage research in the Polish community. The validation of the scale was conducted on two separate samples of healthy adults. Although the results indicate that the Polish version of the scale, in contrast to the original one, exhibits a one-factor structure, its psychometric properties are robust. The scale demonstrates high internal consistency and sound construct validity, established through correlations with various aspects of psychosocial functioning, along with body image and sociocultural attitudes toward appearance. The scale seems to be gender-invariant and can be utilized in future studies that adopt a cognitive-behavioral approach to appearance schemas.

Authentic happiness is a construct comprising 3 factors: pleasure, engagement, and meaning (Seligman, Parks, & Steen, 2005). Three studies involving altogether 464 participants adapted and validated the authentic happiness measure Steen Happiness Index (SHI; Seligman, Steen, Park, & Peterson, 2005) into Polish. In Study 1 the Polish version of the scale was developed and its convergence with the original SHI was assessed using bilingual response method, r = .98, p < .001. In Study 2 cluster analysis confirmed the theoretical profiles of happiness, testing the proposed 3-factor structure of the scale, χ2 (116) = 180.62, GFI = .95, CFI=.97, SRMR = .04, RMSEA = .04, RMSEA 90% CI [.25 - .45]. Test-retest reliability (Study 3) yielded satisfactory results, rtt = .87, p < .01. This is the first study providing empirical support for the structural validity of the authentic happiness construct. It also shows the cross-cultural generality of the construct. We discuss some practical applications of the scale.

Occupational hardiness is a pattern of attitudes and strategies that stimulates an individual to perceive stressful work situations as controllable, worth dealing with, and contributing to professional development. One of the popular tools in the world to measure this construct is the Occupational Hardiness Questionnaire (OHQ) developed by Moreno-Jiménez et al. It has a three-factor structure, proven construct validity, and good internal consistency. The overarching aim of the study was to prepare a Polish adaptation of the OHQ based on a sample of Polish employees working in health care, education and science, and customer service. The questionnaire-based research was conducted in two stages, with two independent samples. The first study was cross-sectional. Their results were used to estimate the factorial validity, construct validity, and internal consistency of the adapted tool. Participants in the first study were 1,212 employees (originally 1,315) of health care (n = 400), education and science (n = 410), and customer service (n = 400) sectors. The second study, which was longitudinal in nature, included two measurements and was used to estimate test–retest reliability. Of the 400 participants (employees of customer service), 205 completed the questionnaire in two measurements. The Polish version of the OHQ has a three-factor structure, confirmed construct validity and good internal consistency. The Polish version of the OHQ is ideal for scientific research, but can also be used in practice: in career counseling, recruitment, selection, or screening.

Background: The use of information and communication technologies by employees of organizations may cause technostress for their users. The sources of technostress in organizations are techno-overload, techno-invasion, techno-complexity, techno-insecurity, techno-uncertainty. An organization may also have technostress inhibitors that counteract the experience of technostress. Material and Methods: The purpose of this research was to determine the psychometric properties of the Polish adaptation of Technostress Creators and Technostress Inhibitors Scale. Results: In the first study (N = 632), the 8-factor structure of the questionnaire was confirmed by the use of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Furthermore, a high internal consistency of the adapted method was obtained. The second study (N = 451) confirmed the external validity of the adapted method by correlating it with the Perceived Stress Scale. The third study (N = 123) confirmed high stability at the time of results obtained in 2 measurements with the adapted scale. Conclusions: To conclude, it can be stated that the Polish adaptation of the Technostress Creators and Technostress Inhibitors Scale is characterized by good psychometric indicators and can be successfully used in various organizations in the diagnosis and reduction of technostress.

Samokontrola jest ważną funkcją ludzkiego Ja, dzięki której osoba może przezwyciężyć lub zmienić swoje impulsy, nastroje, emocje i zachowania. Tangney, Baumeister i Boone opracowali skalę do pomiaru indywidualnych różnic w samokontroli – Skalę Samokontroli (Self-Control Scale, S-CS). W artykule przedstawiono adaptację S-CS do polskich warunków kulturowych, nad którą prace rozpoczęto, gdy nie było metody pomiaru samokontroli w Polsce. Cele niniejszego badania były następujące: 1) opracowanie polskiej wersji Skali Samokontroli (S-CS-Pv); 2) ocena właściwości pozycji testowych SC-S-Pv; 3) oszacowanie rzetelności SC-S-Pv; 4) porównanie wewnętrznej struktury S-CS-Pv z oryginalną skalą; 5) ocena trafności teoretycznej SC-S-Pv. W procesie adaptacji S-CS zastosowano procedurę tłumaczenia zwrotnego. Polska adaptacja jest rzetelną metodą o trafności wykazanej zarówno przez korelację z innymi testami, jak i przez porównania grup. Wyniki analizy czynnikowej sugerują jednak jej strukturę wielowymiarową.

Self-control was recognized as an important function of the human self, whereby the person can override or alter its impulses, moods, emotions, and behaviors. Tangney, Baumeister, and Boone developed a scale for the measurement of individual differences in self-control - Self-Control Scale (S-CS). This article presents the adaptation of S-CS to Polish conditions, which was started when there was no method for testing self-control in Poland. The aim of the present study was fivefold: (1) development of the Polish version of the Self-Control Scale (S-CS-Pv); (2) examination of the properties of the SC-S-Pv’s items; (3) estimation of the SC-S-Pv’s reliability; (4) comparison of the S-CS-Pv’s internal structure with the original scale, and (5) assessment of the SC-S-Pv’s content validity. In the process of S-CS adaptation, a back-translation procedure was used. Polish adaptation is a reliable method with validity proven, both by correlation with other tests and by group comparisons. However, the factor analysis results suggested its multidimensionality.

Aim. The objective of the present study was to test the psychometric properties, reliability and validity of three job stressor measures, namely, the Interpersonal Conflict at Work Scale, the Organizational Constraints Scale and the Quantitative Workload Inventory. Method. The study was conducted on two samples (N = 382 and 3368) representing a wide range of occupations. The estimation of internal consistency with Cronbach's α and the test–retest method as well as both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were the main statistical methods. Results. The internal consistency of the scales proved satisfactory, ranging from 0.80 to 0.90 for Cronbach's α test and from 0.72 to 0.86 for the test–retest method. The one-dimensional structure of the three measurements was confirmed. The three scales have acceptable fit to the data. The one-factor structures and other psychometric properties of the Polish version of the scales seem to be similar to those found in the US version of the scales. It was also proved that the three job stressors are positively related to all the job strain measures. Conclusions. The Polish versions of the three analysed scales can be used to measure the job stressors in Polish conditions.

Background There are several techniques to diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms that correspond to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) classification of mental disorders. This study aimed at testing the reliability and construct validity of the Polish version of the PTSD-8. The results obtained in 4 professional groups of healthcare workers (physicians, nurses, paramedics, other occupations) were compared. Material and Methods The PTSD-8 questionnaire includes questions on stress reactions manifested by intrusion (4 items), avoidance (2 items), or hypervigilance (2 items). Respondents were asked about their reactions to the traumatic work-related experiences occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic. The nationwide survey conducted in 2022 included 2303 employees, among whom 746 had such an experience and completed the PTSD-8 questionnaire. Results Based on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) results, it was shown that a single-factor model is acceptable, but under the condition of modification by correlation of random errors at selected observable variables. The reliability of this scale is very good (McDonald’s Ω = 0.890), and the goodness-of-fit of the overall CFA model is confirmed by: CMIN/DF = 3.969, NFI = 0.982, RFI = 0.964, IFI = 0.986, TLI = 0.983, RMSEA = 0.063. The model estimated for female nurses has the best psychometric properties. In the study group of 2303 respondents, 16.76% met the criteria for PTSD, accounting for 52.74% of those who were traumatized by a work-related event. The PTSD-8 index is M±SD 20.01±5.55 pts (range: 8–32 pts). The PTSD-8 index is significantly higher in women than in men, and higher in nurses compared to other professions. However, the differences between professional groups are significant only for women, and the largest when comparing female physicians and nurses. Conclusions The analyses confirmed the rationale of further implementation of the PTSD-8 questionnaire in Poland, both as a tool for identifying PTSD and for studying the severity of the syndrome, its determinants and health effects.

Wstęp Istnieje wiele technik, które pozwalają diagnozować objawy stresu pourazowego (post-traumatic stress disorder – PTSD) odpowiadające klasyfikacji zaburzeń psychicznych (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders– DSM). Celem analiz była ocena rzetelności i trafności teoretycznej polskiej wersji PTSD-8 oraz porównanie wyników uzyskanych w 4 grupach zawodowych pracowników ochrony zdrowia (lekarze, pielęgniarki, ratownicy medyczni i inne zawody). Materiał i metody Kwestionariusz PTSD-8 zawiera pytania na temat reakcji stresowych objawiających się intruzją (4 itemy), unikaniem (2 itemy) lub nadmiernym pobudzeniem (2 itemy). Respondenci byli pytani o reakcję na doświadczenia w związku z traumatycznymi przeżyciami związanymi z pracą zawodową w czasie pandemii COVID-19. Ogólnopolskim badaniem ankietowym przeprowadzonym w 2022 r. objęto 2303 pracowników, z których 746 doznało traumatycznego zdarzenia i wypełniło kwestionariusz PTSD-8. Wyniki Na podstawie wyników konfirmacyjnej analizy czynnikowej (confirmatory factor analysis – CFA) wykazano, że dopuszczalny jest model 1-czynnikowy, ale pod warunkiem modyfikacji przez skorelowanie błędów losowych przy wybranych zmiennych obserwowalnych. Rzetelność tej skali okazała się bardzo dobra (Ω McDonalda = 0,890), a o dobrej jakości dopasowania ogólnego modelu CFA świadczą następujące wskaźniki: CMIN/DF = 3,969, NFI = 0,982, RFI = 0,964, IFI = 0,986, TLI = 0,983 i RMSEA = 0,063. Najlepszymi własnościami psychometrycznymi cechował się model oszacowany dla pielęgniarek. W badanej grupie (N = 2303) 16,76% respondentów spełniało kryteria PTSD, co stanowi 52,74% osób, które doznały traumatycznego przeżycia związanego z pracą w czasie pandemii COVID-19. Średni indeks PTSD-8 wynosił M±SD 20,01±5,55 pkt (zakres: 8–32 pkt) i był istotnie wyższy u kobiet niż u mężczyzn oraz wyższy w przypadku pielęgniarek niż innych zawodów. Różnice między grupami zawodowymi były jednak istotne tylko dla kobiet, a największe przy porównaniu lekarek i pielęgniarek. Wnioski Przeprowadzone analizy potwierdzają zasadność dalszego wdrażania w Polsce kwestionariusza PTSD-8 zarówno jako narzędzia wspomagającego wczesną diagnostykę PTSD, jak i do badania nasilenia tego zespołu, jego uwarunkowań i skutków zdrowotnych.
