metadata.value: Vaccination in light of the COVID-19 pandemic is a hot topic in scientific and popular circles.
  The article presents the adaptation and validation of the questionnaire measuring the propensity
  to believe in conspiracy theories regarding vaccination (Vaccine Conspiracy Beliefs
  Scale). The questionnaire consists of 7 statements with 7 response categories in the Likert
  scale. The work includes translation and adaptation for the Russian sample of the Englishlanguage
  version of the questionnaire, including forward and backward translation as well as
  the use of cognitive laboratories. The translation was carried out by three experts, followed by
  the finalization of the questionnaire version for quantitative analysis. The cognitive laboratory
  tested how clear the translation and the investigated construct were for respondents. Data
  analysis was conducted within the framework of modern testing theory using models from
  Rasch modeling. The sample consisted of 308 students from Russian universities (average age 20.6 years; SD = 3.9). The quantitative analysis showed satisfactory psychometric characteristics
  of the questionnaire. A deeper analysis revealed that the sample is divided into two latent
  classes according to the response style of the test takers. The response style is a specific characteristic
  of the test-taker, which makes it possible to closer examine the reasons why the testtaker
  has chosen one or another response option. The study of response styles is an underrepresented
  area in domestic research and the article contributes to the development of this area
  while also emphasizing the need to study response styles when using questionnaires. Overall,
  the article details the methodology for validating measurement tools in the social sciences.
