Objectives: The aim of the study was to prepare the Polish adaptation of the Young Schema Questionnaire S3-PL. The scale is a self-assessment tool designed to measure 18 early maladaptive schemas.
Methods: The sample consists of 1,529 adults (927 women and 585 men), aged 18-85 years (mean age was 32 years), from non-clinical groups.
Results: After language validation the internal consistency was assessed. The Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.62 (Entitlement/grandiosity) to 0.81 (Failure), and it was 0.96 for total score. The best solution obtained in exploratory factor analysis was an eight-factor model, instead of the assumed 18-factor structure. Confirmatory factor analysis also did not fully supported Young's theoretical model. From all the tested models, bi-factor model (i.e., one generic factor and correlated specific factors - schemas) fitted the data best. In accordance with this model schema variance is explained concurrently by generic and specific factors; generic factor explains most of the Defectiveness variance, while only slightly - Self-sacrifice variance. Convergent validity analysis confirmes positive medium correlations with scales measuring psychopathology. Similarly, negative correlations with self-efficacy and optimism indicate good divergent validity.
Conclusions: The psychometric characteristics of the Polish adaptation of the YSQ-S3PL is similar to those reported for other language versions. The results allow to recommend the method for scientific research. However, using it in therapeutic practice needs caution - especially in the case of clinical diagnosis. Further analyses are necessary to assess criterion validity and discriminative power in clinical settings.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to create a Polish adaptation of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS), assess its psychometric properties and conduct factor analysis in a group of adults.
Methods: Five hundred two students of the Poznan University of Medical Sciences, aged 19-40 were studied, assessed by the 27-item HSPS, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and NEO-FFI Questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed in two subgroups (N = 250 and N = 252, respectively).

Polish adaptation of the Sports Tourism Motivation Scale (STMS) in the context of understanding Socio-Cultural, Nature and Tourism-Related Motivation among athletes.

Introduction And Objective: Research on runners is most often conducted in the context of sports motivation using the adaptation of the Motivations of Marathoners Scale (MOMS) questionnaire, which, however, does not measure aspects related to tourism, nature or socio-cultural aspects. The aim of the study was to create a Polish adaptation of the Sports Tourism Motivation Scale (STMS) for athletes, especially runners, which, for the first time, enables the examination of socio-cultural and tourism-related aspects among them in Poland.
Material And Methods: To conduct the adaptation, the STMS tool was tested among 100 individuals who engage in running: 50 participating in a city-organized running event around cultural monuments (2022 Poznań Marathon) and another 50 individuals running on non-urban routes - in a national park (2022 Łemkowyna Ultra-Trail), exemplified by a nature-surrounded running activity.
Stereotypically thinking: Norms for stereotypical gender nouns in Polish and English.
PLoS One

Faculty of English, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland.
The present contribution provides norms for a database of Polish (a grammatical gender language) and English (a natural gender language) stereotypical gender and neutral nouns. A total of 317 participants rated the degree of stereotypically feminine and masculine features when presented with 240 nouns in each language. The stimuli were highly controlled for a number of psycholinguistic variables, including word frequency, the number of letters and syllables, age of acquisition, concreteness, valence, and arousal.

Animals are predicted to shrink and shape-shift as the climate warms, declining in size, while their appendages lengthen. Determining which types of species are undergoing these morphological changes, and why, is critical to understanding species responses to global change, including potential adaptation to climate warming. We examine body size and bill length changes in 25 shorebird species using extensive field data (> 200,000 observations) collected over 46 years (1975-2021) by community scientists.
