Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this article is to introduce the Polish adaptation of the Developmental Crisis Questionnaire (DCQ-12). In Poland, there is currently no tool for measuring the quarterlife crisis, hindering empirical exploration and cognitive understanding of this phenomenon. The DCQ-12, developed by Petrov and colleagues, serves as an age-independent measure of adult developmental crisis for research and applied purposes.

Methods: This research was conducted online by an external company specializing in research panels. The sample comprised a total of 1,176 subjects. To assess the psychometric properties of the scale, internal structure analyses, including exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, were performed as well as validity assessment.

Results: Statistical analyses indicated that the Polish adaptation of the DCQ-12 is a reliable tool for examining the severity of the quarter-life crisis and its components. The obtained results confirm the tool's structure, with psychometric properties in the Polish study comparable to the original data. The Cronbach's α for the entire scale was 0.78 which suggests that the reliability of the questionnaire is satisfactory and acceptable.

Conclusions: The Polish version of the DCQ-12 demonstrated good psychometric properties.Its utilization in therapeutic practice can be particularly beneficial and provide insights into specific aspects of the quarter-life crisis.

改编和验证生命四分之一危机问卷--发展危机问卷(DCQ-12)。
目的:本文旨在介绍波兰对发展危机问卷(DCQ-12)的改编。在波兰,目前还没有测量四分之一生命危机的工具,这阻碍了对这一现象的实证探索和认知理解。由 Petrov 及其同事开发的 DCQ-12 是一种与年龄无关的成人发展危机测量方法,可用于研究和应用目的:本研究由一家专门从事研究小组的外部公司在网上进行。样本共包括 1,176 名受试者。为了评估量表的心理测量特性,我们进行了内部结构分析,包括探索性和确认性因素分析,以及效度评估:统计分析表明,波兰语改编的 DCQ-12 是一种可靠的工具,可用于检查四分之一生命危机的严重程度及其组成部分。所得结果证实了该工具的结构,波兰研究的心理测量特性与原始数据相当。整个量表的 Cronbach's α 为 0.78,表明问卷的可靠性是令人满意和可以接受的:波兰语版本的 DCQ-12 具有良好的心理测量学特性,将其用于治疗实践尤其有益,并能深入了解四分之一生命危机的特定方面。
