ADAPTATION STUDY OF THE PROBLEM SOLVING INVENTORY ON THE ROMANIAN POPULATION
ADAPTATION STUDY OF THE PROBLEM SOLVING INVENTORY ON THE ROMANIAN POPULATION

Summary/Abstract: The Problem Solving Inventory (PSI; Heppner & Petersen, 1982) is a widely used measure that assesses one’s perceived problem-solving ability, behavior and attitude; it is used in the United States, Romania and other countries. The study analyses from an experimental point of view the PSI on a Romanian sample, and also establishes its psychometric parameters. Data were collected from four samples (ns=422, 223 women; 199 men). Results of the confirmatory factor analysis on the current sample supported the model proposed by the authors of the instrument. The data provided support for the PSI and enhances the generalizability of some of the previous findings based on the U.S., Mexican, and South African samples. Also, this study provides information that promotes our knowledge about the efficacy of problem-solving constructs.
