Ukrainian Version of the Copresence Scale

Abstract Millions of Ukrainians are fleeing the war to the EU countries; in particular, Poland has accepted more than three million refugees, among whom are mostly women and children. Some of them continue to work remotely in Ukraine and communicate with friends and relatives at a distance through technology-mediated ways. The aim of our study was to observe the role of perceived copresence during social contacts, both of professional and private character, and validate the Ukrainian version of the copresence scale among Ukrainian migrants. We collected 221 responses in an online and face-to-face study from Ukraine migrants. Analyses revealed that the Ukrainian Perceived Copresence scale has one factor and appropriate internal consistency. Perspectives of future research are proposed.
