Opracowanie i właściwości psychometryczne polskiej wersji Skali Samokontroli = The Development and Psychometric Properties of the Polish Version of the Self-Control Scale (2020)
Self-control was recognized as an important function of the human self, whereby the person can override or alter its impulses, moods, emotions, and behaviors. Tangney, Baumeister, and Boone developed a scale for the measurement of individual differences in self-control – Self-Control Scale (S-CS). This article presents the adaptation of S-CS to Polish conditions, which was started when there was no method for testing self-control in Poland. The aim of the present study was fivefold: (1) development of the Polish version of the Self-Control Scale (S-CS-Pv); (2) examination of the properties of the SC-S-Pv’s items; (3) estimation of the SC-S-Pv’s reliability; (4) comparison of the S-CS-Pv’s internal structure with the original scale, and (5) assessment of the SC-S-Pv’s content validity. In the process of S-CS adaptation, a back-translation procedure was used. Polish adaptation is a reliable method with validity proven, both by correlation with other tests and by group comparisons. However, the factor analysis results suggested its multidimensionality.
