Streszczenie: The current study aimed to verify the psychometric properties of the Flow Short Scale (FSS) on a group of 528 Polish board game players. Participants were asked to refer to a state of engagement during playing their most preffered board game. The experience of flow as a specific state rather than a general disposition was thus verified. The validity of the FSS was established based on a three-faced construct validation method. Participants were randomly divided into three subsamples (N 1 = 115; N 2 = 213; N 3 = 200). Exploratory analyses were conducted on the first subsample to examine the quality of test items. Then, in the second subsample, a total of 36 models were verified for the goodness-of-fit criteria. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model with two factors, fluency and absorption-but without Items 1 and 5-was found to have an optimal goodness-of-fit in the third subsample. Gender measurement invariance was then cross-validated on the entire sample, indicating homogeneity of the FSS at the strict invariance level. The convergent validity of both FSS subscales with the Immersion Questionnaire, tested on the entire sample, was also confirmed. In conclusion, the Polish adaptation of the FSS is a reliable and accurate tool for investigating the state of flow experienced by board game players.
