“…Therefore, using self-report to determine perceived peer behavior may be problematic. However, a strength of the present study is its use of self-report with regard to generalized pliance, for which self-report is particularly relevant ( Stapleton et al, 2020 ). Second, the present study was somewhat limited in its approach to plys.…”

“…Further studies should analyze measurement invariance of the GPQ across samples of these countries and compare their mean scores to analyze the differences in generalized pliance across these cultures. In this sense, note that a previous study has shown that Irish adolescents show higher scores on the GPQ-C than Colombian adolescents (Stapleton et al, in press).…”

Abstract. Rule-governed behavior is a central concept to explain complex human behavior from a functional-analytic standpoint. Recently, a self-report measure of a functional type of rule-following called generalized pliance has been developed – the Generalized Pliance Questionnaire (GPQ). The GPQ has two versions with 18 and 9 items, respectively. This study aimed to analyze the factor structure and psychometric properties of both GPQ versions in a Spanish online sample ( N = 846). Confirmatory factor analyses showed that the one-factor model obtained an acceptable fit in the GPQ-18, but an inadequate fit in the GPQ-9. The GPQ-18 showed measurement invariance across gender, excellent internal consistency, and convergent construct validity. According to the results, the GPQ-18 showed good psychometric properties in Spanish samples.

“…For some reason following the behavior considered as socially approved in Poland seems to have little impact on life satisfaction while it may still have detrimental effects for individuals’ general functioning (because of negative relationship with psychological flexibility). Differences between Irish as well as Columbian adolescents in pliance and psychological inflexibility has been recently reported by Stapleton et al [ 47 ]. Further longitudinal research allowing for cause-effect conclusions should determine the relationship between pliance, tracking, life satisfaction and self-efficacy in cross-cultural studies.…”

The Polish adaptation of the measurements of rule-governed behaviors: Generalized Pliance Questionnaire, Generalized Tracking Questionnaire and Generalized Self-Pliance Questionnaire

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.
