The article presents an analysis of the validity and reliability of the FAD-Plus scale by D. L. Paulhus and J. M. Carey, which is used to measure beliefs in free will, determinism, and the unpredictability of events. The results of three studies are presented. Based on the results of the first study, it was found that the tool has a consistent structure and that its 3-factor 16-item version is reliable. The second study revealed positive correlations between determinism and religious fundamentalism and belief in an unjust world as well as a positive correlation between belief in unpredictability and belief in an unjust world. The correlations of belief in free will with authoritarianism, belief in an unjust world, and religious fundamentalism were not significant. The third study revealed a positive correlation between belief in free will and positive emotions, a negative correlation between belief in determinism and positive emotions, and negative correlations of belief in determinism and belief in unpredictability with life satisfaction. The analysis of the FAD-Plus scale for the Polish sample proves that the 3-factor scale (the 16-item version) consisting of subscales measuring beliefs in free will, determinism, and unpredictability, is a parametrically satisfactory tool.

The aim of the study was to explore the factors that could alleviate the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on employee life satisfaction. We analyzed personal resources such as belief in free will and self-evaluated work efficiency, as well as condition and energy resources related to working conditions (i.e., employment stability, remuneration, and change on mode of work) as moderators of the relationship between COVID-19 fear and COVID-19 worries and life satisfaction. The results showed that life satisfaction among employees was negatively associated with COVID-19 worries, belief in free will and remuneration level. However, it was not associated with COVID-19 fear. The results also indicate that belief in free will may be a personal resource that increases life satisfaction only when the level of this arousal is low in the case of worries of COVID-19.
