The aim of the paper is to present the theoretical basis and factorial structure of the Polish adaptation of the Religious and Spiritual Struggles Scale – RSSS-PL. We present the results of two studies. Study 1 included an exploratory factor analysis, which showed that the Polish adaptation of the RSSS, like the original version, measures six domains of religious or spiritual struggle: divine (negative emotions centered on beliefs about God or perceived relationship with God), demonic (concern that the devil or evil spirits are attacking you or causing negative events), moral (wrestling with attempts to follow moral principles; worry or guilt about perceived offenses by the self), ultimate meaning (concern about not perceiving deep meaning in one’s life), interpersonal (concern about negative experiences with religious people or institutions; interpersonal conflict around religious issues), and doubt (feeling troubled by doubts or questions about one’s r / s beliefs). In Study 2, we confirmed the six-factor structure of the Polish adaptation of the RSSS using the confirmatory factor analysis. The RSSS-PL subscales had high reliability indices and high validity in relation to measures of religiousness and stress. This method has acceptable psychometric properties and may serve as a valuable tool in studies on religion as a source of struggles.

This article will attempt to present the difficulties to assess religiousness in international research. From the methodological perspective this issue needs to be considered in a few aspects. First of all – accuracy, the indicators used to assess religiousness traditionally refer for the most part to the external manifestations of commitment, which in the context of the changes undergoing in the religious sphere in our times seem to be insufficient. For they generally grasp the institutional dimension of religiousness, while referring to a smaller extent to individual, private or subjective religiousness as well as spirituality. Secondly, the issue of the reliability of the survey needs to be considered. The queries constituting the indicators of the assessment of religiousness belong to a sensitive sphere. The question is whether the data collected on sensitive topics and the results depend on the administration mode. Thirdly, there is still a relative lack of clear evidence in literature on how valid comparison can be made when we use different data collection modes. In this article, on the basis of religion module data the effects of applying different modes were examined. The results of analysis lead to the conclusion that the variation between countries partly comes from selection effects and partly from mode effects.
