“…In his 80s, he lamented that "the demand to develop Integrity and Wisdom in old age seems to be somewhat unfair, especially when made by middle-aged theorists-as, indeed, we then were" (cited in Hoare, 2000, p. 79). Eventually, he came to see the final goal or achievement of life, not as wisdom, but as faith (Brugman, 2010).…”

“…And so a balance is sought between the values of the individual and those of the community, within the context of the current environment. Brugman (2006) comments, however, that the balance theory of wisdom lacks the empirical evidence of the Berlin wisdom paradigm. Brugman (2006) also suggests that the idea of making decisions for the common good is too subjective.…”

Wisdom is derived (in modern language terms) from the Old English words wis (“of a certainty, for certain”; “Wisdom,” 2015) and dóm (“statute, judgment, jurisdiction”; “Wisdom,” 2015); wisdom is, at its broadest, defined as the “Capacity of judging rightly in matters relating to life and conduct; soundness of judgement in the choice of means and ends; sometimes less strictly, sound sense, esp. in practical affairs” (“Wisdom,” 2015). As a concept, wisdom has been acknowledged within our history since the time of the Sumerians (and estimated to have originated in around 2,500 BCE). However, in modern times, the relevance of the traditional wise person is less clear. Nonetheless, wisdom research has been on the rise since it emerged as a focus of researchers in the 1970’s, and a part of that research focus has been to explore the significance of wisdom and its relevance in the current day (particularly with regards to how it is measured across cultures).

“…Although psychological research on wisdom has a relatively short history (Kunzmann & Baltes, 2005), it has given rise to numerous proposals of conceptualizing this construct (Olejnik & Niemczyński, 1993;Birren & Svensson, 2005;Osbeck & Robinson, 2005;Trowbridge, 2005;Brugman, 2006;Staudinger, 2008;Meeks & Jeste, 2009;Bangen, Meeks, & Jeste, 2013).…”

The article outlines the results of academic endeavors to develop a Polish adaptation of Monika Ardelt's Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale (3D-WS). The results obtained using the Polish version are comparable to those obtained using the original research instrument, which proves that the Polish 3D-WS can be successfully used for research purposes. The Polish adaptation consists of 39 items covering four dimensions: Cognitive, Affective, Self-Awareness, and Empathic. The scale testing procedure involved a research sample consisting of 475 people. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .83 for the entire scale and oscillated between .64 and .77 for the subscales. Over the course of the study, it turned out that some subscales of the Polish 3D-WS can be influenced by sociodemographic factors such as age, sex, and education.
