“…Since in Slovakia there is a gap in these instruments, we had to choose other ones. There is also a room to find evidence with other concepts, such as psychological types (Lisá, 2017) or traits (Lisá & Kališ, 2019).…”

"Bonding represents an emotional tie that one experiences towards one´s own child. There are several instruments to measure the level and quality of bonding. Among them we chose and translated the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire by Brockington et al. (2001) into Slovak language. The aim of this study was to analyse its psychometric qualities. Our non-clinical sample consisted of women (N= 372) 18 and 44 years (M= 29.74; SD= 5.25) who recently gave birth in Slovakian hospitals. Data collection was carried out from September 2015 until March 2018. Participants filled the Postpartum bonding questionnaire by Brockington et al. (2001) and some of them other three tools: Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale by Cox, Holgen and Sagovsky (1987), Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42 (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) and Parental Stress Scale (Berry & Jones, 1995). The distributions of the items of the bonding were mostly skewed and leptokurtic. Internal consistency is high for the overall Lack of Bonding (?= .897) and varies in factors- ?= .820 for Impaired Bonding, ?= .779 for Rejection and Anger, ?= .506 for Anxiety about Care and ?= .321 for Risk of Abuse. In order to prove convergent validity, we correlated overall Lack of Bonding with depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, rs= .251, Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42 depression rs=.404; n=79), stress and anxiety (Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42, stress rs=.392; anxiety rs=.496; n=79) and parental stress (Parental Stress Scale score; rs= .674, n=99). We did not confirm original factor structure via confirmatory factor analysis using principal axis factoring with oblimine rotation. Then, we used principal component analysis with varimax rotation method to reduce the items. 6 components were extracted. Component 1 was comprised of 15 items that explained 35,6 % of the variance with loadings from .306 to .733. Hence, we proposed new item-structure for the Slovak PBQ. We concluded that the Slovak version of the PBQ proved to have good overall reliability. We found evidences for the convergent validity with parental stress, anxiety, stress, and partly depression, because there were two different results. We also suggest creating a shorter version based on the analysis. Among limits we can see tools used for validity evidence and sample without participants for clinical population. We advise to use the Slovak version of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire as a tool to measure bonding in a research context and to use overall summary index (Lack of Bonding) instead of factors."

“…The highest Cronbach alpha was reached for H, the same as in the online Canadian self-report sample . Usually, factor X reaches the highest value of internal consistency (Bashiri et.al, 2011;Burtăverde, 2015;Lisá & Kališ, 2019;Záškodná & Dostál, 2016). The different wording of item 82 could explain lower internal consistency of X in the research sample compared with international studies.…”

“…An Iranian study showed alpha values from .71 (C) to .81 (X) (Bashiri et al, 2011). Lisá & Kališ (2019), in the Slovak translation, stated Cronbach α values from .62 (H) to .73 (E) in the group of job seekers, and from .65 (H) to .81 in the group of health professionals. Overall, they achieved lower Cronbach alpha values in both research files from Slovakia (Lisá & Kališ, 2019) than in international studies Babarović & Šverko, 2013;Burtăverde, 2015).…”

The reasons for these lower values could go with a natural field sample of working adults (not students) but also with small research samples (N = 173; N = 63).…”

“…Barbarovič & Šverko (2013), in a sample of Croatian students, confirmed the designated six HEXACO factors, which showed expected relations with FFM traits (measured by IPIP-50). Lisá & Kališ (2019) analyzed the psychometric properties of the Slovak translation of HEXACO-PI-R in the selection and nonselection situation (samples of employees versus candidates in the selection process). However, they concluded a need for psychometric analysis of internal structure and reliability on a larger and more representative sample of Slovak-speaking participants.…”

The study aimed to verify the psychometric properties of the 100-item HEXACO-PI-R questionnaire. The sample consisted of 1624 adults aged from 16 to 79 years (M=34.5, SD=13.35) who filled the paper-pen self-report form of the HEXACO-PI-R. The average internal consistency of the six factors was α=.78 (from .72 for Openness to .81 for Honesty-Humility) and α=.60 for facets. The Altruism scale in the Slovak translation did not reach a satisfactory internal consistency (α=.29). Mean values in the Slovak-speaking sample were 3.29, and standard deviations .53 for factor level and .74 at the facet level. Sex differences showed the higher Emotionality (d=.99) and Honesty-Humility (d= .38) in women. Age differences in Honesty-Humility showed a medium effect size. Factors did not inter-correlate, or they correlated weakly, except for r=.34 in the relationship between Agreeableness and Honesty-Humility. The factors were well distinguished from one another. The exploratory factor analysis with Promax rotation confirmed the six-factor model, which explained in total 44% of data variance, with an average loading of .60. Individual one-factor models met most of the goodness of fit criteria in confirmatory factor analysis, but the six-factor model did not meet them. The controversy associated with assessing the internal structure of multidimensional personality inventories by confirmatory factor analysis is discussed. According to the currently published research studies, the research findings supported the reliability and internal validity of HEXACO-PI-R in Slovak translation.
