[Deep Acting and Surface Acting Scale (DASAS)--Adaptation of the metod and preliminary psychometric properties].
BACKGROUND
This article presents the results of the study on the Polish version of the revised Emotional Labor Scale (ELS), developed by Lee and Brotheridge. The ELS measures deep acting and 2 aspects of surface acting (hiding feelings and faking emotions).


METHODS
Psychometric characteristics of the Polish version of the ELS, named Deep Acting and Surface Acting Scale (DASAS), were analyzed in the preliminary study on 332 people working in various service professions. We verified factor structure of the scale, its reliability, and construct validity (that is, the relationships between its subscales and other measures of workplace functioning).


RESULTS
The results indicated that the DASAS has good psychometric properties which are comparable with the characteristics of the original scale. We replicated a 3-factor structure of the scale and confirmed its satisfying internal consistency and construct validity.


CONCLUSIONS
The preliminary findings suggest that the DASAS is an adequate measure of deep and surface acting.
