<p>Samokontrola jest ważną funkcją ludzkiego Ja, dzięki której osoba może przezwyciężyć lub zmienić swoje impulsy, nastroje, emocje i zachowania. Tangney, Baumeister i Boone opracowali skalę do pomiaru indywidualnych różnic w samokontroli – Skalę Samokontroli (Self-Control Scale, S-CS). W artykule przedstawiono adaptację S-CS do polskich warunków kulturowych, nad którą prace rozpoczęto, gdy nie było metody pomiaru samokontroli w Polsce. Cele niniejszego badania były następujące: 1) opracowanie polskiej wersji Skali Samokontroli (S-CS-Pv); 2) ocena właściwości pozycji testowych SC-S-Pv; 3) oszacowanie rzetelności SC-S-Pv; 4) porównanie wewnętrznej struktury S-CS-Pv z oryginalną skalą; 5) ocena trafności teoretycznej SC-S-Pv. W procesie adaptacji S-CS zastosowano procedurę tłumaczenia zwrotnego. Polska adaptacja jest rzetelną metodą o trafności wykazanej zarówno przez korelację z innymi testami, jak i przez porównania grup. Wyniki analizy czynnikowej sugerują jednak jej strukturę wielowymiarową.</p>

The Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) is a widely used measure of self-control, a construct associated with beneficial psychological outcomes. Several studies have investigated the psychometric properties of the BSCS but have failed to reach consensus. This has resulted in an unstable and ambiguous understanding of the scale and its psychometric properties. The current study sought resolution by implementing scale evaluation approaches guided by modern psychometric literature. Additionally, our goal was to provide a more comprehensive item analysis via the item response theory (IRT) framework. Results from the current study support both unidimensional and multidimensional factor structures for the 13-item version of the BSCS. The addition of an IRT analysis provided a new perspective on item- and test-level functioning. The goal of a more defensible psychometric grounding for the BSCS is to promote greater consistency, stability, and trust in future results.

AbstractSubjective vitality is a positive feeling of aliveness and energy, and it is a crucial aspect of well-being. The Subjective Vitality Scales (SVS) have been developed to measure subjective vitality both at the individual difference level and the state level in English-speaking samples. We translated the SVS into German (the SVS-G) and examined their psychometric properties. In Study 1 (N=260), we found that two correlated factors (Factor 1: individual difference level; Factor 2: state level) with five items each constituted a useful structure for the SVS-G. Moreover, the scores on the individual difference scale were more stable than the scores on the state scale. We also found partial evidence for the measurement invariance over a period of three weeks. Conforming to our expectations, Study 2 (N=296) revealed that the SVS-G scores were related to positive and negative affect but could still be distinguished from the affect variables. In line with previous findings, Study 3 (N=203) showed that SVS-G scores are related to well-being variables (happiness and joviality) and the perceived capacity to actively perform effortful tasks (attentiveness and capacity for self-control). Across all the studies, the SVS-G showed satisfying inner consistency, and the two consideration levels (individual differences vs. state) could be differentiated. The initial evidence suggests that overall, the SVS-G have good psychometric properties.
