abstract = {This article presents the results of the Polish adaptation of McAdams and de St. Aubin’s Loyola Generativity Scale (LGS) and Generative Behaviour List (GBC) – the scales respectively measure generative concern and generative behaviour. Results from a sample of N = 237 individuals aged 19–93 years showed good internal reliability of the LGS and GBC. Their results correlated positively. Most hypotheses supporting the criterion-relevance of the LGS and GBC were confirmed, including showing positive correlations of both scales with the intensity of meaning in life, extroversion and openness to experiences, as well as a negative correlation of the LGS with depressive symptoms. The CFA supported the original two-factor model of the LGS. In addition, the high stability of LGS scores over a three-week period in a sample of N = 30 students was shown. The Polish adaptations of the LGS and the GBC are reliable and valid tools and can be used in research work.},
