Berlin Social Support Scales (BSSS) are self-report measures to assess perceived available support, need for support, support seeking, actually received support and protective buffernig support. The objective of the study was to develop a Polish version of BSSS and to examine their psychometric properties. The data were collected in three groups of patients (n = 211) and in one group of healthy individuals (n = 421), aged 18 to 72. To test the criterion validity, other measures of social support, measures of well-being, health behaviors and self-regulatory strategies (planning) were employed. The results confirm that BSSS are internally consistent and valid measures of social support dimenstions. Confirmatory factor analysis showed reasonable fit of the four-factor model (for perceived available support, need for support, support seeking, actually received support). They indicate that the Polish version of BSSS may be a viable and reliable measure of social support dimensions.

The aim of this study was to pilot test the psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the Goal Adjustment Scale (GAS) in a student sample. The research sample consisted of 636 students (355 secondary school pupils and 281 university students). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis supported the 2-factor structure (as correlating factors) in the Slovak version of the scale. The internal consistency estimates of two factors (goal disengagement and reengagement) were relatively satisfactory. Regarding the convergent validity, the negative correlations between goal disengagement and dispositional optimism (LOT-R), hope (Snyder’s Hope Scale) and self-regulation (SRQ) have been found. Moreover, significant positive correlations were only found in the case of goal reengagement and pathway as a factor of dispositional hope. However, the study did not support the relationship between adjustment capacities and subjective well-being measured through the frequency of positive and negative emotions (SEHP). One of the limitations of the research was that the test-retest reliability was not tested. It is considered important to perform further validation of the GAS in the future as the current results are preliminary. Nevertheless, the GAS seems to be an efficient tool in detecting adjustment strategies in the case of obstacles in the goal achieving process.

Changeability and accidentality are features of the modern world. Quite often it is difficult to predict the direction of changes. People approach differently unplanned and inexplicable things that happen in their life. The article presents the procedure of designing a Scale in order to investigate the attitude to accidental events and its psychometric properties. It was assumed that the attitude to accidental events may vary depending on the fact whether the examined person is to make a general statement or about a specific experience. Therefore, two versions of the scale were suggested. 286 people aged from 19 to 50 took part in the research. Both versions of the scale turned out to be tools of satisfactory reliability and accuracy. The factor analysis separated five factors in the first version of the scale and three factors in the second one.

This article is a summary of key scientific research into qualifying interviews. It particularly focuses on differentiating between the 'conventional interview' and the 'structured behavioral interview' as well as on presenting the strengths and weaknesses of each of these methods of personnel selection. The core of the article looks at the psychometric properties of both interview types and compares them in terms of accuracy and reliability. The final part presents conclusions derived from a review of literature involving the application of interviews in recruitment processes

This original research presents a French adaptation and validation of the 'Burnout Measure Short version' (BMS) (Malach-Pines, 2005). To do this, we assessed the psychometric properties of scores obtained by the French version. A confirmatory factor analysis led to a one factor solution: 'the degree of exhaustion' (n = 206). This factor analysis is based on Pines and Aronson's framework (1988). This unidimensional scale was (positively) correlated with other burnout measures (subscale 'emotional exhaustion', MBI) and with perceived stress. The future implications and methodological limitations were discussed.

Fear of Pain Questionnaire (FPQ-III) is a self-report measure designed to assess fears about pain across three pain dimensions: severe, minor and medical. The objective of the study was to develop a Polish version of FPQ-III and to examine its psychometric properties. The data were collected among 338 individuals (59% women), aged from 16 to 65. The results confirm that FPQ-III is internally consistent and stable measure of fear of pain and its dimensions. The results of confirmatory factor analysis suggested good fit of the three-factor model. To test the criterion validity, correlation analyses between anxiety, passive coping with pain, self-efficacy, pain intensity and fear of pain were performed. Preliminary results yielded that the Polish version of FPQ-III questionnaire might be a viable and reliable measure.

Experiences in Close Relationship-Revisited (ECR-R) are the most frequently used measure of self-reported adult attachment. Numerous studies have shown its general utility and similarity across language translations and cultures; some studies showed important differences in attachment style structure and also the need to reword/adapt some items. We explored the psychometric properties of the Slovak translation of ECR-R on a general adult sample (Study 1, n = 921). In Study 2 (n = 100) participants also filled out the Slovak version of NEO-FFI for further information on its relation to the major personality structure theory for concurrent and sEMBU for convergent validity. The results showed good psychometric properties of the Slovak translation of ECR-R. Factor analysis sorted items to scales exactly as authors of ECR-R presupposed. We found mild to moderate correlation between Anxiety and Neuroticism and Avoidance and Neuroticism; and mild correlation to some sEMBU scales. We also discuss what would help to improve knowledge and utility of the Slovak version of ECR-R.

The presented study was focused primarily on a psychometric analysis of the Attentional Control Scale (ACS), but they also enhanced the understanding of the role of effortful attentional skills in determining the individual well-being, general adaptation or emotional disorders. The analyses included basic item and scale descriptions as well as convergent and discriminant validity. 218 Polish undergraduate students completed the battery of the self-report techniques and two paper - pencil attentional tests. Data revealed a unidimensional of a 20-item ACS. It can be used validly to assess long-term individual differences in attentional skills related to the voluntary executive functions. The analysis of content, internal and construct validity as well as reliability provided evidence of the scale's significant convergent and discriminant validity when correlated with attentional tests and other personality techniques. We found strong, systematic relations between the attentional control and selected measures of temperament, arousal, emotionality, and motivation. The results allow assuming that good attentional control, may protect individuals from the emotional disorders by regulating perceptual, conceptual, and response processing.

There are several available measures that can help us to distinguish between two general types of processing, usually known as intuitive and deliberative. In the current study we examined two of them, Rationality-Experiantility Inventory and Preference for Intuition/Deliberation Scale in Slovak sample of 860 working adults and students (Study 1). In Study 2 (with N = 428 participants) we verified the 2-factor structure of REI after rephrasing problematic items shown in Study 1. The results showed that both PID and REI have good internal consistency, structures of Slovak versions correspond with the original versions. We found also some gender and age differences, and identified three factors (decision-making based on affect and holistic processing, decision-making based on creativity and cognitions, and planned, deliberate decision-making).
