Методика «Схематизация» в цифровом формате для оценки уровня развития наглядно-образного мышления старших дошкольников

<p>The development of imaginative thinking is one of the main tasks of educational work with preschoolers, because it allows the child to be successful in preschool activities, where the most favorable conditions for the formation of age new achievements are formed. The need for diagnostic tests to determine the level of imaginative thinking of preschoolers is related both to the need to assess the effectiveness of educational work with children, and to identify the level of development of the child. The most informative and reliable results of the assessment of cognitive processes are provided by the use of standardized test. In Russian psychology, there is only one such test - "Schematization" (author R.I. Bardin). This test was created and standardized at the end of the last century and its psychometric characteristics and assessment standards need to be updated for a modern sample. The article presents the results of the re-standarization of this test. The experimental sample of the study consisted of N = 2425 children of senior preschool age: children 5-6 years old (M = 66 months; SD = 3.09 months; n = 974) and 6-7 years old (M = 77 months; SD = 3.21 months; n = 1451). For psychometric verification, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients, Spearman correlation coefficient, Mann-Whitney U criterion and two-factor analysis of variance were used. The norms were calculated using percentile normalization. The obtained results showed the conformity of the test with psychometric requirements and allowed us to determine the current norms for the development of imaginative thinking of older preschool children.</p>

Resiliency Scales – tool adaptation and a preliminary analysis of psychometric properties

The presented study aimed to adapt the Resiliency Scales – A Profile of Personal Strengths in a group of 357 students (178 adolescents with mild intellectual disability and 179 students within intellectual norm) and to conduct a preliminary analysis of its psychometric properties. In accordance with the theoretical background of the completed analyses – resilience theory – the respondents taking part in the study have experienced various challenges during their life. The Resiliency Scales – A Profile of Personal Strengths intends to measure such personality traits of an individual that enable them to better overcome difficulties and adversity (Prince-Embury, 2006). The first stage of the psychometric verification was to study descriptive statistics and distribution. The next stage was reliability analysis and confirmation procedure for factor analysis. The last phase of the adaptation was to standardize the results and prepare norms. As a result of the performed analyses, it can be concluded that Resiliency Scales – A Profile of Personal Strengths is characterized by satisfactory psychometric properties.

Development and Psychometric Verification of a Self-Administered Scale for Family Needs in Japanese Critical Care Settings.

We developed and evaluated the statistical reliability and validity of a family needs scale directly answerable by families in critical care settings. In this qualitative study, 39 questions were drafted to capture family needs. These questions were then administered to the families of patients in emergency care settings. Exploratory factor analyses identified several needs factors and factor structures of the questions with oblique rotation. A confirmatory factor analysis examined internal consistency and criterion-related and construct validity. Three factors comprising 32 items were extracted from the exploratory factor analysis: "Needs for fulfilling family roles," "Needs for appropriate treatment and care," and "Needs for respecting family ties." Cronbach's α was 0.949 for the total score and 0.927, 0.914, and 0.896 for factors A-C, respectively, with cumulative variance of 50.0%. The three factors' confirmatory factor analysis revealed a relatively good model fit. A significant correlation was found between this scale and the assessment scale for the needs of families of patients in the intensive care unit. A new scale assessing family needs was developed, and its reliability and validity were confirmed. The scale has acceptable psychometric properties and can be used to measure family needs in critical care settings, particularly in Japanese cultural contexts.

The Test of Problematic Using of the Internet—Adaptation of the Instrument for a Group of People With Mild Intellectual Disability and a Preliminary Analysis of Its Psychometric Properties

The aim of the presented research was to adapt the Test of Problematic Using of the Internet (TPUI) for a group of people with mild intellectual disability and offer a preliminary analysis of its psychometric properties. The TPUI is an instrument that allows the measurement of problematic Internet use. Problematic Internet use is defined as “excessive involvement in the use of certain Internet applications (mainly related to interactivity) with clear features of addictive behaviour, causing psychological, social and health problems” (Poprawa, 2011a, p. 217). The TPUI was subjected to psychometric verification in research involving 178 students with mild intellectual disability. Considering the diverse aetiology of intellectual disability, adolescents diagnosed with a genetic syndrome and adolescents with multiple disabilities were excluded from the study. Firstly, the analysis focused on descriptive statistics and distribution. Subsequently, exploratory, reliability and confirmatory analyses were applied. Finally, instrument standardisation was performed. The preliminary results lead to the conclusion that the Test of Problematic Using of the Internet is probably an instrument allowing a reliable and accurate measurement of problematic use of the Internet among adolescents with mild intellectual disability. Confirmation of these conclusions requires conducting further analyses on a sufficiently large group of students.

Методика диагностики мотивов вандального поведения для обучающихся подросткового и юношеского возраста: результаты доработки

The article considers the phenomenon of vandal behaviour of students and states the need for a detailed study of the factors that cause it. In domestic and foreign practice to study the motives of vandal behaviour there is only one methodology - the questionnaire “Motives of Vandal Behaviour”, developed by the author's team in 2011. Due to objective circumstances, the stimulus material of this toolkit had to be updated, which was the purpose of this work. The questionnaire items were updated both from the point of view of clarifying the wording, which no longer corresponds to the possible experience of vandal behaviour of modern representatives of adolescence and adolescence, and to take into account the fact that it is in the educational environment that students spend most of their time and, accordingly, implement their vandal practices in it. Psychometric verification of the questionnaire was carried out on the basis of data collected in 2023 in 8 subjects of the Russian Federation, 354 students of 8-11 grades, including 186 boys and 168 girls aged 14 to 18 years took part in the study. The structure of the questionnaire was checked by correlation analysis, and the reliability of the scales was assessed by calculating the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. The validity of the methodology was also checked, criterion predictive validity and criterion competitive validity were determined. As a result, the updated methodology “Motives of Vandal Behaviour” showed high reliability indicators with preservation of a good level of discriminativity of scales, as well as the necessary level of criterion validity, which indicates the possibility of using this toolkit to identify the readiness of students to vandal activity and to determine the motivational basis of such behaviour.

Results of the study of psychological quality of life

In recent years, researchers ' interest in studying the theory of psychological health has increased. Many studies have been conducted on the psychological health of a person. The purpose of this work is psychometric verification and standardization of the scales of the PERMA-Profiler questionnaire for the population of Kazakhstan. To achieve this goal, we have translated the perma-Profiler questionnaire into Kazakh. For the accuracy of the translation, the original version of the questionnaire and its previously published Russian version were compared with the Kazakh version. The final version of the translation was presented to respondents from among the Kazakh people. The psychological well-being of men and women is shown and determined in comparison.

Motivace k myslivecké činnosti ve vztahu k osobnostním rysům

Organized hunting activity has become a phenomenon in the Czech Republic during the 20th century. Foreign studies aimed at hunting disclosed various motives for hunting (e. g. Hinrichs et al., 2021). Motivation is closely related to personality traits, so we were interested in the relation between hunting motives and personality traits in Czech hunters. Research was oriented to study which motivational tendencies are applied in the motivation for hunting and how they relate to each other. It was also examined whether there were differences between men and women in motivation. The crucial question was the relation between motives for hunting and personality traits. The sample consisted of 503 respondents, of whom 112 were women (22.27 %) and 391 were men (77.73 %). The sample was obtained using snowball technique, self-selection, and occasional selection. The data were obtained by the original Scale of hunting motives (Scale HM) and the HEXACO questionnaire (Ashton & Lee, 2009). The introductory questions concerned demographics and information about hunting activities. The Scale of hunting motives consists of 30 items. Respondents answer on a five point Likert scale. The questionnaire was inspired by the Volunteer Motivation Inventory (McEwin & Jacobsen -D’Arcy, 2002). The HEXACO questionnaire consists of 60 items. It measures six basic dimensions of personality (honesty–humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience). The data was obtained electronically using Google forms. The analysis of principal components of Scale HM identified five motivational tendencies: appreciation (self -esteem); prestige (excitement); distraction (relaxation); aggression (hostility) and sharing (affiliation). Appreciation and sharing proved to be the dominant motives, while aggression was the weakest. The results show different relationships between motives and personality dimensions. Negative correlations are more common. The motive of prestige negatively correlates with honesty – humility, similarly to the motive of aggression, which also correlates with conscientiousness. The strongest positive correlation is between distraction and emotionality. Other significant correlations can be observed, but most of them are weak. The findings showed significant differences in motives between men and women. Compared to men, women have stronger motives for sharing and relaxing. The men above score in the prestige motive. The connections between hunting motives and personality dimensions are mostly consistent with how the dimensions of the HEXACO model are characterized (Ashton et al., 2000; Ashton & Lee, 2007). But we observe rather weaker relations of the examined variables, pointing out that greater role in developing the motives of hunters can be attributed to other factors. Limits of the research is the use of Scale of hunting motives, which is in development and additional psychometric verification is required. The internal consistency of multiple subscales does not reach the optimal value. The sample was large, which is an indisputable advantage. On the other hand, it was not a random selection, and this reduces the possibility of generalization of the results.

Краткая версия опросника аутентичности Керниса-Голдмана: адаптация в России

Aim. The first psychometric verification of the Kernis-Goldman Authenticity Inventory, which includes 45 statements and four scales in the initial version, such as Awareness, Unbiased processing, authentic Behavior, and Relational orientation, was carried out in Russia. The questionnaire was developed within the framework of the existential paradigm of personality psychology. Procedure and method. The study involved 704 respondents (144 male, 559 female, aged 17 to 32 years). To check the convergent validity, the Authenticity scale (subscales: Authentic living, Acceptance of external influence, and Self-Alienation) and the single-scale Moscow authenticity scale were used. Confirmatory factor analysis, parametric and nonparametric statistical methods were used. Results and conclusion. During the adaptation, the Authenticity inventory was reduced to 32 points (per 8 in each of the scales), in order to keep the original factor structure. It was found that the Relational orientation score is higher in females, and Awareness is higher in males. It was also found that the indicators of the adapted questionnaire positively correlate with the scores of Authentic living and the Moscow authenticity scale, and negatively — with the scores of Acceptance of external influence and Self-alienation. The study showed the structural and convergent validity of the Russian-language version of the questionnaire. The new tool can be recommended for evaluating the effectiveness of various interventions and for research.

Adaptation of deaf and hard-of-hearing people self-identification scale (DIDS)

One obstacle in understanding deafness as a cultural difference is the absence of models and methods that could study the acculturation or identity of deaf people in modern Russia. Approbation and validation of deaf and hard-of-hearing people self-identification scale (DIDS), based on the Glickman model of the development of cultural identity, could contribute to the study of acculturation of deaf people in Russia, and create a reliable methodological tool for practical psychologists working in the system of special secondary and higher professional education. The purpose of this article is to present materials of the step-by-step psychometric verification of the DIDS questionnaire, obtained on a sample of deaf and hard of hearing students studying in different institutional settings, aged 17 to 41 (N = 420, M = 21.88; SD = 5.24). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed that all scales are independent of each other. To check the consistency of the scales, the Cronbach coefficient was used. It demonstrated high consistency of each scale in the general sample (α-Cronbach from 0.704 to 0.767), as well as on subsamples of men and women (α-Cronbach from 0.629 to 0.801) and in different age groups (α-Cronbach from 0.687 to 0.862). To check the stability of the scales, an analysis was also carried out on subsamples of persons with varying degrees of hearing loss (α-Cronbach from 0.653 to 0.832) and without it (α-Cronbach from 0.688 to 0.801). To check the internal consistency of the questionnaire, a correlation analysis was carried out both within the scales and between them. The results obtained confirmed the conformity of the considered construct. As a result, the Russian adaptation of the American DIDS scale was reduced by 20 statements, which increased the internal consistency and reliability of the methodology. Analysis of the psychometric properties of the DIDS scale confirmed the possibility of its usage in deaf and hard of hearing Russians.

Acculturation Scale to Russia for Chinese Students: Development and Psychometric Verification

The topic on diagnosing intercultural adaptation and psychological acculturation to a new socio-cultural environment is relevant in connection with the processes of globalization and, in particular, with the growth of academic mobility in education. Research on this problem are especially relevant for Russian science due to the lack of acculturation scales, which are widely represented in Western and international psychology. In 2019, a research team led by Professor A. Ardila developed the Russian-language Acculturation Scale for Russia (ASR), which was validated on a sample of international university students from 71 countries of the world. The aim of the present study was to adapt the ASR for the Chinese students studying in Russian universities. Chinese students are the largest group of international students from far abroad studying at Russian universities, while many of them experience significant difficulties in adapting to a new socio-cultural environment, as well as in learning the Russian language. In total, the study involved 213 Chinese students (59% - female) studying at Russian universities, of which 93 students (58% - female) completed the Russian-language version of the ASR, and 118 students (61% - female) completed the Chinese version of the ASR, which was designed using the back translation. Both ASR versions were psychometrically tested using Cronbachs and MacDonalds coefficients, as well as bifactorial analysis. The methods of descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon W-test were used to compare the Russian-language and Chinese versions of the ASR. The normalization was carried out by means of non-linear percentile normalization (stanines). As a result, a high consistency of the Russian-language and Chinese versions of the ASR and their equivalence with each other were shown. Both versions can be used to assess the level of acculturation of Chinese students to Russia, while the Chinese version is recommended for the Chinese students who have been living in Russia for less than 1-1.5 years and/or have a poor Russian proficiency.

QUESTIONNAIRE OF PSYCHODIAGNOSTICS "SUBJECTIVE SEXUAL WELL-BEING": DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION

The article presents the results of psychometric verification of the questionnaire "Types of sexual scenarios" created by us. Verification of obvious and substantive validity was carried out through a group of experts, validation and standardization was carried out by analyzing survey data of 457 respondents aged 20 to 59 years (M = 26,7 years), including 241 women and 226 men. Verification of the structure of the questionnaire using statistical tools of the Statistica 8.0 package - exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and verification of the internal consistency of the scales by the coefficient ά-Kronbach - gave positive results. Fife factors were identified and 5 scales with satisfactory ά-Cronbach (within the range of 0,710-0,889) were formed with some corrections. The 5-factor structure of the questionnaire model was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). For five factors χ2 = 115,904, df = 71,00, p = 0,0613, χ2/df = 1,915; CFI = 0,842, RMSEA = 0,0506, SRMR = 0,051, GFI = 0,856, CFI=0, 941, Bentler-Bonett Normed Fit Index 0,869. The normality of data distribution on the selected scales according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion and the χ2 criterion (Chi-Square test) (p≥0.05) was checked. The theoretical model showed satisfactory compliance with empirical data. Retest reliability according to Pearson's criterion - at N = 457, at a good level of significance p <0.05 almost all correlation coefficients have a high value (0.603≤ r≤0.707). The convergent validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by identifying relationships with similar indicators of other psychodiagnostic questionnaires. Differences on the measured characteristics in the contrast groups of respondents (with sexual disorder and without them, male and female) - divergent validity were revealed. The analysis of discriminant validity (intercorrelations of scales of the created questionnaire) confirmed the logical structure on semantic filling of scales. The standardization of the methodology is carried out through the definition of the boundaries of low, medium and high levels.

A scale for assessing student understandings of marine resource conservation and sustainability: psychometric verification and the latent mean difference between genders

This study developed a scale for evaluating how well students understand marine-resource conservation and sustainability; it evaluated the scale’s psychometric properties and investigated the gender difference in the scale’s score. We recruited 929 university students in Taiwan to answer a questionnaire developed using the scale. The scale’s reliability and validity were indicated through psychometric indicators—including Cronbach’s alpha, the multitrait-multimethod matrix, and confirmatory factor analysis results. Multiple-group structural equation modeling was used to test the measurement invariance of the scale and to compare the latent mean between the genders. The results of the various analyses confirmed that the scale met the requirements for psychometric assessments. Male and female students significantly differed in the cognitive and behavioral but not socio-emotional dimensions. Scholars can use this scale to investigate how the understanding of marine conservation relates to other factors.

Psychometric Investigation of the Cultural Intelligence Scale Using the Rasch Measurement Model in South Korea

As the business environment and its workforce’s composition have become more diversified, more attention has been paid to cultural intelligence or the ability to effectively function in such an environment. Various attempts have been made to measure and develop leaders and staff members’ cultural intelligence. The Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS) is the most representative tool for measuring cultural intelligence worldwide and has been frequently used in South Korea. Although CQS validity has been verified for each country and cultural region, it has been used without psychometric verification in South Korea and simply translates the original scale into Korean. This study’s objective was to test CQS validity when employed with the employees of South Korean companies. It applied the Rasch measurement model to confirm the validity in various aspects. First, this study calculated an item adequacy index and performed point biserial correlation analysis. The results showed that all values were above the appropriateness threshold. A Likert scale response test was conducted to check actual validity. The results confirmed that the 7-point rating scale was valid, and the item–subject map proved that the CQS items reflected the respondents’ ability distribution relatively well. Rasch factor analysis for confirming the internal structure’s validity revealed that CQS showed a multidimensional factor structure. Lastly, this study checked differential functioning items by position to secure evidence of generalization validity. It was confirmed that it has an appropriate level of generalization-related validity.

«Индекс учебного интереса»: тест-опросник для диагностики учебной мотивации подростков

The article provides theoretical justification and describes the development, psychometric verification and approbation of the Learning Interest Index inventory for assessing learning motivation in adolescents of different age groups. The theoretical basis was a resource approach aimed at identifying those motivational-value and personality components that make a significant positive contribution to both the process and the result of learning activities of adolescents. The sample for psychometric verification of the test consisted of 572 adolescents (44.5% boys, 55.5% girls) studying in 7—11 grades of several medium-ranked schools of Moscow and the Moscow region. To identify the structure of learning interest, exploratory factor analysis was applied separately for the sub-samples of middle (grades 7—9) and older (grades 10—11) adolescents. The model of the Learning Interest Index includes both simple, unambiguous, and complex, combined factors. For a sample of middle-aged adolescents, a seven-factor model of the Learning Interest Index was obtained. The structure of the learning interest of older adolescents includes nine factors. Psychometric verification showed that all scales of the questionnaire have acceptable reliability, as well as construct and empirical validity.

The Scale "New Ecological Paradigm": Use Experience in Ukraine

The results of adaptation and use of the scale "New ecological paradigm" (NEP) are presented. In 2010-2017, 862 people, 547 women and 315 men aged 17 to 80 took part, including 622 students of various specialties and 254 adults of different social status. The Russian version of the NEP-R scale was used. In 2021, the Russian-language and Ukrainian versions of the NEP sample were used - 41 people (27 women and 14 men aged 17 to 49). The sample was randomly divided into two groups (20 people - 23 women and 7 men and 21 people - 24 women and 7 men), so that all respondents completed both versions of the scale with an interval of two weeks, but in one group initially worked with the NEP -U, and then with NEP‑R, and in the second group - on the contrary. The results of psychometric verification of the Ukrainian-language and Russian-language adaptations of the scale are given, their compliance with the English-language version in terms of reliability-consistency, rather high test-retest reliability is shown. The verification of the convergent reliability of the scale confirmed its focus on identifying a worldview ecological attitude that responds to the environmental concerns and expresses anxiety about environmental risks, interest in environmentally relevant information, recognition of their connection with the environment, and readiness for eco-friendly behavior. The calculated percentiles for the overall NEP indicator allow determining the level of respondent’s environmental concern taking into account his gender. The overall NEP indicator is valid for predicting concern of environmental risks and individual readiness to participate in social projects aimed at eco-conservation.

지적장애, 자폐성장애 등 발달장애아동의 기능적 행동평가를 위한 동기사정척도(MAS)의 타당성 검증에 관한 연구

This study attempted to revalidate the validity of the Motivation Assessment Scale (MAS) through psychometric verification. Participants were 145 children with developmental disabilities including 104 autism and 41 intellectual disabilities. 145 parents of children with developmental disabilities were participated as a examiner. Results of this study were as follows: First, the MAS was composed of four factors and 15 questions through exploratory factor analysis. Second, the MAS was revised by using the confirmatory factor analysis and the Modification Index(MI), and goodness-of-fit and convergent validity were verified. Third, the discriminant validity between potential variables of the MAS was verified. As a result of this study, the MAS was reconstructed into 4 factors 16 items including ‘complex’ factor 6 items, ‘tangible’ factor 3 items, ‘sensory’ 4 items, and ‘attention’ 3 items. However, the revised MAS did not fully fit the theoretical hypothesis. The results of this study were discussed. Finally, the implications and suggestions for further research were presented.

Русскоязычная версия краткой шкалы гендерно-ролевых представлений (GRBS)

Objective. Translation, adaptation and psychometric verification of the 10-item Gender Role Beliefs Scale for Russian-speaking respondents. Background. A short version of GRBS was developed in 2012 by American psychologists M. Brown and N. Gladstone from New York University. The basis was the popular questionnaire of gender roles, de¬veloped in 1996. M. Brown and N. Gladstone reduced it to 10 items and tested it for reliability and validity. Study design. The study was conducted on the Internet based on self-selected Web surveys and subsequent sampling. Participants. The sample included 400 respondents (41% of men and 59% of women). Half of the respondents were middle-aged Russians, from 26 to 35 years old, 66% of the respondents had higher education. Measurements. For data processing, factor and descriptive analysis and suitability analysis of the scale (a Cronbach) were used. For statistical data processing, the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 program was used. Results. The results showed an identity of the factor structure with the original and sufficient consistency of the Russian version of the scale. The Russian version also showed a sufficient level of construct validity. Conclusions. A short scale of gender role beliefs can be used in the study of traditional ideology about the roles of men and women existing in modern society. The shortness of the scale allows to include it in a series of other questionnaires and conduct online research on large samples.

ПСИХОДІАГНОСТИЧНА МЕТОДИКА "ПАРЦІАЛЬНІ ПОЗИЦІЇ ЖИТТЄСТІЙКОСТІ ОСОБИСТОСТІ": РЕЗУЛЬТАТИ РОЗРОБКИ ТА АПРОБАЦІЇ

The article presents the theoretical construction, stages of creation and results of psychometric verification of the test questionnaire "Partial positions of personality hardiness" (PPH). Hardiness stands for the ability of an individual to assimilate experience and development during life's difficulties. Partial positions of personality hardiness cover a specific manifestation of the characteristics in different types of hardships, which is implemented in a range of emotional reactions and feelings, the nature of psychological difficulties, mechanisms of assimilation of problem experience, coping strategies and transformation of unpleasant circumstances. The developed test questionnaire contains 100 statements, distributed on 5 scales of 20 statements each: "hardiness in a situation of stress", "hardiness in a situation of frustration", "hardiness in a situation of conflict", "hardiness in a crisis", "resilience in situations of uncertainty". The algorithm of the original method construction provided for several stages that meet the requirements of modern psychometrics. At the stage of approbation of the test questionnaire its reliability (method of division in half, parallel test, check of independence of results from the personality of the diagnostician), obvious, constructive, convergent; competitive validity (methods of correlation, factor analysis), discriminativeness has been verified. The presence of correlations between the indicators of the PPH test questionnaire and the S. Muddy Test of hardiness (adapted by D. Leontiev, O. Rasskazova) indicates that the developed method measures the same psychological quality as the reference test, but low (from 0.20 to 0.30) and average (from 0.30 to 0.50) values of correlation coefficients indicate that the new method has different theoretical construction grounds. Comparison of data between the test-questionnaire of PPH and parallel tests ("Test-questionnaire of indicators' diagnostics of psychological crisis experience" (PE) (O. Sannikova, I. Brynza), and a method of "Self-assessment of mental states according to G. Eysenck") showed existence of negative correlations between of the majority of comparative methods' indicators of (p≤0.01; p≤0.05). The results of approbation approved the conformity of the created method in accordance with psychometric requirements, which allows to use it both for scientific and practical purposes.

Особенности применения русскоязычной версии шкалы диспозиционной осознанности (CAMM) для подростков

This study aims to adapt the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure – CAMM (Greco, Baer, Smith) scale for a Russian-language sample of adolescents. Modern domestic and foreign studies of dispositional mindfulness demonstrate its connection with the psychological health of young people. In this context, the diagnosis of dispositional mindfulness can be used for predictive purposes to identify the level of psychological well-being, social adaptation, and behavioral problems of adolescents. However, no diagnostic tools have been provided that are aimed at this age group. For psychometric verification of the Russian version of the dispositional mindfulness scale, the factor structure of the original and adapted version of the scale was compared, confirmation factor analysis, Spearman-Brown and Cronbach coefficients were used, criteria validity was evaluated, and a centile scale and a scale of questionnaire responses were developed. The study involved 411 teenagers (52% of girls and 48% of boys) living in Moscow and the Moscow region. The age range is from 13 to 15 years. The adapted scale is characterized by a satisfactory degree of internal consistency, which is confirmed by the value of the Spearman-Brown and Cronbach coefficients. In contrast to the one-factor original version of the scale, confirmation analysis of the Russian version revealed a two-factor structure with overlapping factors. Adolescent dispositional mindfulness is positively correlated with relevant constructs such as psychological well-being and negatively correlated with internalized and externalized adolescent problems. There was a positive reliable correlation with the readiness of adolescents to help and a negative one - with aggression in the classroom. The conducted research suggests that the adapted Russian-language scale of dispositional mindfulness has demonstrated good psychometric indicators and this tool can be considered as suitable for practical use.
