In some circumstances rule-governed behavior, a behavior that is governed by verbal rules instead of environmental consequences, may be beneficial for human beings. At the same time, rigid rule following is associated with psychopathology. Thus measurement of rule-governed behavior may be of special use in a clinical setting. The aim of this paper is to assess the psychometric properties of Polish adaptations of three questionnaires measuring generalized tendency to engage in various types of rule-governed behaviors: Generalized Pliance Questionnaire (GPQ), Generalized Self-Pliance Questionnaire (GSPQ), Generalized Tracking Questionnaire (GTQ). A forward-backward method was used for translation. Data was collected from two samples: general population (N = 669) and university students (N = 451). To measure the validity of the adapted scales the participants filled in a set of self-assessed questionnaires: Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale- 21 (DASS-21), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ), Valuing Questionnaire (VQ) and Rumination-Reflection Questionnaire (RRQ). The exploratory and confirmatory analyses confirmed the unidimensional structure of each of the adapted scales. All of those scales presented good reliability (internal consistency measured with Cronbach Alpha) and item-total correlations. The Polish versions of questionnaires presented significant correlations in the expected directions with relevant psychological variables in line with the original studies. The measurement occurred invariant across both samples as well as gender. The results provide evidence that Polish versions of GPQ, GSPQ and GTQ present sufficient validity and reliability to be used in the Polish-speaking population.
在某些情况下，受规则支配的行为——一种受言语规则而非环境后果支配的行为——可能对人类有益。同时，僵化的规则遵循与精神病理学有关。因此，规则支配行为的测量在临床环境中可能具有特殊用途。本文的目的是评估三种测量各种类型规则支配行为倾向的问卷的波兰语适应性的心理测量特性：普遍服从问卷（GPQ）、普遍自我服从问卷（GSPQ）和普遍跟踪问卷（GTQ）。翻译采用了正向-反向法。数据来自两个样本：普通人群（N=669）和大学生（N=451）。为了衡量改编量表的效度，参与者填写了一组自我评估问卷：生活满意度量表（SWLS）、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表-21（DASS-21）、一般自我效能感量表（GSES）、接受与行动问卷-II（AAQ-II）、认知融合问卷（CFQ）、价值观问卷（VQ）和反思问卷（RRQ）。探索性和验证性分析证实了每个改编量表的单维结构。所有这些量表都表现出良好的可靠性（用 Cronbach Alpha 测量的内部一致性）和项目总分相关性。问卷的波兰语版本与原始研究一致，与相关心理变量呈预期方向的显著相关。测量在两个样本以及性别上都是不变的。结果表明，GPQ、GSPQ 和 GTQ 的波兰语版本具有足够的有效性和可靠性，可以在讲波兰语的人群中使用。
