Psychometric Properties of the Polish Version of the Passion Scale
Abstract
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to present the Polish adaptation of the Vallerand’s Passion Scale.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: Does the scale have a two-factore structure in accordance with the theoretical model and the original version? Is the theoretical validity satisfactory? Is the reliability of the scale satisfactory?
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The validation included back translation, estimating reliability and theoretical validity.
RESEARCH RESULTS: Exploratory factor analysis revealed the dual model of the passion, indicating the existence of harmonious and obsessive passion. The results of the confirmatory analysis are also discussed. The Scale has a good reliability of the subscales. The theoretical validity of the Scale was verified by correlations between types of passion and identity interest and flow.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The results of validation are satisfactory and the Polish version of the Scale can be applied in scientific research.
