This article reports on the updating and validation of a questionnaire for vocabulary learning strategies. An English as a second language (ESL) version of the Vocabulary Learning Questionnaire (VLQ), first published in Gu and Johnson (1996), was created based on its latest version. Two response formats were piloted, that is, a paper version with a 7-point Likert scale and an online version with a 100-point slider bar. A series of validation procedures resulted in a 62-item instrument which was then administered online among 682 English language learners at the tertiary level in China. The paper presents evidence of content validity, construct validity, internal consistency reliability, and predictive validity. It also provides suggestions for interpreting and using the questionnaire for both research and instructional purposes.

Research on job satisfaction has attracted significant attention of both theoreticians and practitioners of psychology and management. The basic challenge related to carrying on job satisfaction research is a choice of appropriate questionnaire. In the paper we analyze one of the most popular tools helping to assess the level of job satisfaction – Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). On the basis of the research carried out among 75 employees of chosen hospital we verify two resarch hypotheses related to the dimensions of job satisfaction and their relationship with declared, general level of job satisfaction. Research results reveal 5 factors of studied construct, and regression analysis partly supports hypothesis describing relationship between dimensions of job satisfaction and declared, general level of job satisfaction.

This article outlines the creation of tools to measure spiritual sensitivity – Spiritual Sensitivity Inventory (SSI), starting from the assumptions underlying the source of its creation, through a phase of theoretical analysis of the construct used for development of an experimental method, a quantitative validation of the inventory, ending with a validation of quality, i.e. narrative interviews conducted in order to confirm the theoretical accuracy of the SSI. The authors clarify the construct of spiritual sensitivity, describe a deductive strategy for questionnaire creation, indicate the potential theoretical and methodological problems encountered by psychologists studying spirituality, present a spectrum of validation procedures and their ultimate effect – an accurate and reliable psychometric tool – the Spiritual Sensitivity Inventory. A developed spiritual sensitivity is beneficial not only in relationships between people but also in the educational, professional and social domain. In this light, an accurate and reliable diagnostic tool can be used in a business environment and organization.
