This paper presents a new research tool: the KRSS (Questionnaire on Coping with Ability Loss). The questionnaire is used to determine the stage of the process of coping with ability loss that the interviewee with acquired disability is at. The theoretical premise derives from the classic work by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (2007) on coping with death, where several subsequent stages were identified: shock and denial; bargaining; depression; acceptance. Work on the questionnaire progressed in several steps: first, characteristic symptoms of each stage were described; then a set of statements linked to each stage was prepared; these were assessed by competent judges; next, the quality and number of statements were verified; a preliminary version of the questionnaire containing 39 sets was used to test 274 persons with acquired disabilities; the accuracy and reliability of each of the five scales and each of their positions was verified on the basis of the results; last, the final version of the questionnaire was produced, containing 27 statements. From this lengthy process was born a tool for diagnosing the current stage of coping with ability loss that is both short and simple to use. An accurate diagnosis of the coping stage may be a good basis for tailoring the professional activisation services to best fit the unique functioning of the individual in question.

The paper presents the construction stages of the Sense of Life Events Punctuality Questionnaire in three versions – for early, middle and late adults. Work on the questionnaire proceeded in several steps. The starting point was an analysis of the developmental tasks associated with the three stages of adulthood, which were then divided into three domains: I. Relationships and family; II . Education and work; III . Free time and leisure. The first stage consisted in preparing initial content for each of the three versions of the questionnaire. In stage two the aptness of said content (with regard to both terminology and categorization) was evaluated by competent judges. During stage three, 307 adults were diagnosed using experimental versions of the questionnaire (112 of those were young adults, 22-39 years old; 109 were middle adults, 42-60; 86 were late adults, 61-85). Finally, stage four consisted in carrying factor analyses, for each age group separately. In this way the factor structure in each version of the questionnaire could be identified (3, 5 and 5 factors, respectively) and their reliability assessed by Cronbach’s alpha.

The paper presents the Dual-Cycle Model of Identity Formation, a theory formulated in recent years by researchers from the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, as well as a questionnaire created to verify the assumptions of this theory – the Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS). The authors make an overview of results of studies carried out using DIDS and describe the development process of the questionnaire itself. Since DIDS is currently being adapted for application in Poland, reports of the progress of the adaptation process and ratings of the psychometric value of this questionnaire are presented as well.

The aim of the study was to identify the predictors of satisfaction with present life and prospects for the future among people with disabilities in their adolescence (16-17 years of age), emerging adulthood (18-25 years) and early adulthood (26-30 years). The results indicate that satisfaction with present as well as future life is linked to various predictors. In the case of the first variable, the general assessment of one’s health is of major significance whereas in the case of the two subsequent age groups continuation of education is also important. Satisfaction with future prospects is determined, above all, by satisfactory financial situation of one’s family and relations with people other than family members.
