Summary/Abstract: The Distraction in Social Relations and Use of Parent Technology questionnaire (DISRUPT) is a short 4-item measure by McDaniel (2021) used to assess technology interference during the parent–child common time. The paper describes the development of the Polish version of the DISRUPT. The study sample consisted of 649 participants aged 18–35 (Mage = 30.23, SD = 3.87), divided randomly into two groups: one for EFA and the other for CFA. EFA using the maximum likelihood method revealed a unidimensional structure of the tool; the single-factor model was also well-fitted in CFA. High reliability ( = .90) and construct validity were obtained. The Polish questionnaire version is a promising tool for screening parental digital behaviors.
