“…The second group was early adulthood (n ¼ 115; 47 women and 68 men) aged 19 to 39 years (M ¼ 6.80, SD ¼ 5.46). The third group was midadult (n ¼ 149; 63 women and 86 men) aged 40 to 58 years Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with parceling was used (Bandalos, 2002;Bandalos & Finney, 2001;Steuden, Brudek, & Izdebski, 2016). The accepted statistical approach demands the fulfillment of the assumptions of one dimension of the analyzed factors (Williams & O'Boyle, 2008).…”

The article presents the results of work on the Polish adaptation of the Death Attitude Profile-Revised by Wong, Reker, and Gesser (1994). The psychometric properties of the Polish version of the tool have been described. The results are consistent with the original version of the questionnaire and confirm that the Polish version of Death Attitude Profile-Revised fulfils the psychometric requirements for psychological tests and, as a result, can be applied in scientific research. The final version of the questionnaire consists of 32 items (including 31 diagnostic ones) that make up five dimensions of attitudes toward death: (a) Fear of Death, (b) Death Avoidance, (c) Neutral Acceptance, (d) Escape Acceptance, and (e) Approach Acceptance. The questionnaire was tested on 1,285 subjects aged 13 to 90 years ( M = 47.27, SD = 18.21). Reliability values (Cronbach's α) for individual scales vary from α = .63 to α = .89. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the validity of the questionnaire.

Introduction. The purpose of this study was to construct a typology of the proactive coping profiles of individuals in middle and late adulthood. The conceptual layer refers to the theory of proactive coping as defined by Ralf Schwarzer and Steffen Taubert. It means such an approach to everyday life in which problems are treated as a challenge rather than as a great unknown that limits to only reactive responses to emerging difficulties. An attempt was also made to compare the obtained subtypes in terms of wisdom and resilience. According to Ardelt's research, wisdom, understood as a composite of cognitive, reflective, and emotional components, may be a resource characterizing adults who use mature coping strategies, particularly proactive coping. Building resilience in people helps to prevent stress, hence it can be considered as a resource important in proactive coping. Method. A group of 166 people in middle (N=80) and late adulthood (N=86) was surveyed. The Proactive Coping Inventory (Polish Adaptation) by Sęk, Pasikowski, Taubert, Greenglass and Schwarzer, Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale (3D-WS) by Ardelt, adapted by Steuden, Brudek and Izdebski and Resilience Measurement Scale (SPP-25) by Oginska-Bulik and Juczynski were used in the study. Results. Four coping types were obtained: runaway, proactive, autonomous and support-seekers. Individuals belonging to particular profiles of coping differed significantly in the level of wisdom and resilience. Conclusions.The study showed that in a group of people in middle and late adulthood it is possible to distinguish consistent profiles of using coping strategies, which differ in the degree of proactivity. Additionally, wisdom and resilience were shown to characterize individuals with a more proactive, goal-oriented structure of coping strategies.

“…The third, compassion dimension corresponds to the individual's capacity for sympathy and empathy; it is associated with striving to enhance well-being and overcome egocentric tendencies. It also indicates the presence of positive emotions and benevolence toward other people (sample item: I can be comfortable with all kinds of people; Ardelt, 2003; see Steuden, Brudek, & Izdebski, 2016). Summing up points for the items belonging to particular dimensions, raw scores are obtained for each of the components of wisdom.…”

“…Moreover, the tool correlates positively with the indicators of good adaptation and negatively with the indicators of nonadaptation, which attests to its accuracy. In the presented research project, the Polish version of the tool was used, translated and adapted by Steuden, Brudek, & Izdebski, 2016. Internal coherence was tested for the entire Polish version of the scale (a ¼ .84) and for its particular dimensions (compassion: a ¼ .64, reflection: a ¼ .74, cognition: a ¼ .77) using Cronbach's alpha coefficient and concluding that it is satisfactory.…”

“…In relation to this, it is most likely that it is already in MA that circumstances arise that enable a person to acquire certain integrity and allow for the flourishing of the sense of meaning of life and the psychosocial virtue of wisdom, whose structure can subsequently change in the following decades of life. In favorable circumstances, life experiences can continue to be acquired, processed, and synthesized in LA, and gerotranscendence can evolve (Sinnott, 2009;Tornstam, 2005Tornstam, , 2011Brudek, 2016;Steuden, Brudek, Izdebski, 2016); in unfavorable conditions, in the face of losing biopsychosocial integrity, the syntonic currents of development can be displaced by the dystonic states of meaninglessness, despair, and disgust (Erikson, 1950(Erikson, , 1959Erikson & Erikson, 1997;Se¸kowski, 2014, in press).…”

The goal of the presented research was to investigate if wisdom plays a mediating role in the relationships between meaning in life and the attitude toward death in the period of middle and late adulthood. A study was carried out that included 567 persons aged 40 to 75 years. Three measures were used: Personal Meaning Profile, Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale, and Death Attitude Profile-Revised. The conducted analyses allowed the authors to confirm the mediating role of wisdom in the relationships between meaning in life and fear of death as well as death avoidance in persons during the period of middle and late adulthood.
