POLY: A New Psychometric Measure of Polychronicity

A psychometric measure named the POLY, developed to assess an individual's preference for multitasking versus single-tasking. The measure was created and refined through three studies involving item creation, pilot testing, and validity analysis. It was authored by Elizabeth M. Poposki and shared via the paperswithcode platform.

Use Cases

• Predicting multitasking performance based on the POLY measure scores.
• Analyzing the relationship between polychronicity and other individual difference variables.
• Validating new multitasking-related constructs using the POLY as a criterion measure.

Strengths

• Measure development followed a structured three-study process for psychometric refinement.
• Initial evidence for reliability and criterion-related validity is provided in the description.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
