In order to answer the question: is the psycho-immunological system invariant in two neighboring cultures, Slovakia and Poland, the authors propose the psychometric operationalization of theoretical constructs of the psycho-immunological system in the form of The Scale of Psycho-immunological Structure (SPS) in both countries. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that four factors of the scale are equivalent in both samples on the structural level.enmental resiliencepsycho-immunological systemmeasurement of psycho-immunological structurepsychosomatic systeminfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.21909/sp.2015.03.691
