This study is aimed at causal uncertainty (CU) as a personal self-construct in a social environment and its influence on the translation process, focusing on the relationship between an individual causal uncertainty and selected indicators of translation or interpreting (free/literal translation, adequacy/inadequacy translation, language fluency of translation and the quality of interpreting into the mother tongue). For this purpose the CUS scale was used and regression analysis was applied. The results showed a statistically significant influence of causal uncertainty of an individual on a willingness to apply for internship abroad and on a tendency to literal/free translation.
