AB  - In some circumstances rule-governed behavior, a behavior that is governed by 
      verbal rules instead of environmental consequences, may be beneficial for human 
      beings. At the same time, rigid rule following is associated with 
      psychopathology. Thus measurement of rule-governed behavior may be of special use 
      in a clinical setting. The aim of this paper is to assess the psychometric 
      properties of Polish adaptations of three questionnaires measuring generalized 
      tendency to engage in various types of rule-governed behaviors: Generalized 
      Pliance Questionnaire (GPQ), Generalized Self-Pliance Questionnaire (GSPQ), 
      Generalized Tracking Questionnaire (GTQ). A forward-backward method was used for 
      translation. Data was collected from two samples: general population (N = 669) 
      and university students (N = 451). To measure the validity of the adapted scales 
      the participants filled in a set of self-assessed questionnaires: Satisfaction 
      with Life Scale (SWLS), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale- 21 (DASS-21), 
      General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II 
      (AAQ-II), Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ), Valuing Questionnaire (VQ) and 
      Rumination-Reflection Questionnaire (RRQ). The exploratory and confirmatory 
      analyses confirmed the unidimensional structure of each of the adapted scales. 
      All of those scales presented good reliability (internal consistency measured 
      with Cronbach Alpha) and item-total correlations. The Polish versions of 
      questionnaires presented significant correlations in the expected directions with 
      relevant psychological variables in line with the original studies. The 
      measurement occurred invariant across both samples as well as gender. The results 
      provide evidence that Polish versions of GPQ, GSPQ and GTQ present sufficient 
      validity and reliability to be used in the Polish-speaking population.
