- Abstract
The paper presents an adaptation and validation of the Pseudo-profound Bullshit Receptivity Scale, developed by Pennycook and colleagues in 2015. The adaptation was performed using the back translation method. The validation was conducted on a group of students and Facebook users (N = 209) and included a 30-item version of the scale and a shortened 10-item version. The scale's internal structure was verified using confirmatory factor analysis, and its external validity was verified using correlation analyses. The measurement with the adapted 30-item scale was reliable, fitted the theoretical model, and indicated scalar invariance with the American version. The external validity of the adapted scale was confirmed by the correlations with the criterion variables - pseudo-profound bullshit receptivity was associated with less analytical and more intuitive thinking style, higher ontological confusion, and religious belief. The Polish adaptation of the 30-item Pseudo-profound Bullshit Receptivity Scale can be used for quantitative research and cross-cultural comparisons.
