Background: The Savoring Beliefs Inventory (SBI) has been widely used to measure attitudes towards savoring positive experiences. Aim: Our aim was to develop a short yet reliable and valid form of the inventory for use in circumstances where the application of the full form is not feasible. Methods: We used two separate samples in our cross-sectional research. We used convenient and snowball sampling methods. One sample (n = 3.782, males: 274, females: 3.485, gender not identified: 23, ages ranged from 18 to 86 years, mean: 43.6 years, SD = 13.7 years) completed the original SBI, which consists of 24 items, while the second (n = 825, males: 112, females: 713, ages ranged from 18 to 100, mean: 41.4 years, SD = 11.1 years) completed a shortened form, consisting of 10 items. In the second study, participants also completed other well-being measures so that we could assess external validity. Results: According to our results, the 10-item short form of the SBI has sound psychometric properties that are comparable to those obtained using the full form. Cronbach’s alpha values of initial scale = savoring via anticipation: 0.86, savoring the moment: 0.84, savoring via reminiscence: 0.84; reduced scale = savoring via anticipation: 0.85, savoring the moment: 0.81, savoring via reminiscence: 0.81. The fit indices show that the ten-item, 3-factor model was confirmed (RMSEA: 0.060, CI90: 0.049, pClose: 0.07, CFI: 0.966, TLI: 0.952, SRMR: 0.027). The external validity of the SBI (10) was also demonstrated. Conclusion: The Short Savoring Beliefs Inventory has got appropriate psychometric properties, therefore it can be used in future studies about a Hungarian population.

Elméleti háttér: A Savoring Hiedelmek Kérdőív (Savoring Beliefs Inventory, SBI) a pozitiv élmények élvezetével kapcsolatos hiedelmek széleskörűen használt mérőeszköze. Célkitűzés: Célunk a kérdőív egy rövid változatának kialakítása volt, amely megbízható és valid módon méri a savoring hiedelmeket, olyan körülmények között is, amikor a kérdőív hosszú változatának alkalmazása nem kivitelezhető vagy kényelmes . Módszerek: Két különálló mintán végeztünk keresztmetszeti kutatásokat, kényelmi mintavétel alkalmazásával. Az első minta résztvevői az eredeti 24 tételből álló SBI kérdőívet töltötték ki (n = 3.782, férfi: 274 fő, nő: 3.485 fő, nincs adat a nemre vonatkozóan: 23 fő, életkor: 18-tól 86-ig, átlag: 43,6 év, SD = 13,7 év). A második minta résztvevői a rövidített 10 tételből álló kérdőív tételeire válaszoltak (n = 825, férfi: 112 fő, nő: 713 fő, életkor 18-tól 100-ig, átlag: 41,4 év, SD = 11,1 év). Ebben a kutatásban további jóllét kérdőívek is felvételre kerültek, ami lehetővé tette a validitás tesztelését. Eredmények: Az eredményeink szerint az SBI kérdőív 10-tételből álló rövid verziója ugyanolyan jó megbízhatósági mutatókkal rendelkezik, mint az eredeti kérdőív. (Az eredeti kérdőív Cronbach-α értékei a következők: Várakozás: 0,86, A pillanat élvezete: 0,84, Emlékezés: 0,84; a rövid változat Cronbach-α értékei pedig: Várakozás: 0,85, A pillanat élvezete: 0,81, Emlékezés: 0,81. Az illeszkedési mutatók a 10 tételes verzió esetében is megerősítik a 3-faktoros struktúrát (RMSEA: 0,060; CI90: 0,049; pClose: 0,07; CFI: 0,966; TLI: 0,952; SRMR: 0,027). Következtetések: Eredményeink támogatják a rövid verzió érvényességét is. Következtetés: A Rövid Savoring Hiedelmek kérdőív rövid változata megfelelő pszichometriai mutatókkal rendelkezik, ezért alkalmazható a jövőbeli magyar nyelvű kutatásokban.
