abstract="OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to develop the Polish version of the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL-48) of Linehan et al. The questionnaire is a self-descriptive tool designed to measure six factors protecting against committing suicide: &quot;Survival and Coping Beliefs&quot;, &quot;Responsibility to Family&quot;, &quot;Fear of Suicide&quot;, &quot;Moral Objections&quot;, &quot;Fear of Social Disapproval&quot;, &quot;Child-Related Concerns&quot;. The original version of the method was characterized by good psychometric properties. <br><br>METHODS: A sample of 431 adults (236 women and 195 men), aged 18-65 years (mean age was 33 years, SD = 11.33), was recruited as a non-clinical group from various regions of Poland. The Beck's Depression Inventory, Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised and Positivity Scale were also used to evaluate the construct validity of the RFL-48. <br><br>RESULTS: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis supported an assumed six-dimensional structure of the questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.70 (&quot;Fear of Suicide&quot;) to 0.95 (&quot;Survival and Coping Beliefs&quot;) and amounted to 0.92 for the total score. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The findings indicate that the Polish adaptation of the RFL questionnaire by Linehan et al. has good psychometric characteristics and can be used in both research and clinical practice.<p /> <p>Language: pl</p>",
