“…The suitability of the belief statements for EFA, assessed by the 372 overall Kaiser-Meyer-Oklin value, was meritorious (KMO=0.81), with no items having an 373 individual sampling adequacy of less than 0.5, and by the Bartlett's test of sphericity, which was 374 statistically significant χ2 = 644.3 (df = 153, p < 0.001), supported the factorability of the resulting 375 items correlation matrix (Kaiser, 1974;Ferguson and Cox, 1993). 376…”

“…For the remaining 31 items, the Keiser-Meier-Olkin test of sampling adequacy (KMO) was .933, which indicates a good degree of non-unique covariance amongst the set of items (Kaiser, 1974). A significant Bartlett's test of sphericity (χ 2 = 5666.42, df = 465, p<.001) also indicated that the data were suitable for factor analysis.…”

The Development and Initial Validation of the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes the relationship a person has with their thoughts and beliefs as potentially more relevant than belief content in predicting the emotional and behavioral consequences of cognition. In ACT, 'defusion' interventions aim to 'unhook' thoughts from actions and to create psychological distance between a person and their thoughts, beliefs, memories and self-stories. A number of similar concepts have been described in the psychology literature (e.g. decentering, metacognition, mentalization and mindfulness) suggesting converging evidence that how we relate to mental events may be of critical importance. Whilst there are some good measures of these related processes, none of them provides an adequate operationalization of cognitive fusion. Despite the centrality of cognitive fusion in the ACT model, there is as yet no agreed measure of cognitive fusion. This paper presents the construction and development of a brief, self-report measure of cognitive fusion: The Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ). The results of a series of studies involving over 1800 people across diverse samples show good preliminary evidence of the CFQ's factor structure, reliability, temporal stability, validity, discriminant validity, and sensitivity to treatment effects. The potential uses of the CFQ in research and clinical practice are outlined.

“…A bare minimum of .50 is required for the sample to be adequate (Kaiser, 1974). Parallel analysis (Horn, 1965), often recommended as one of the best methods to determine the number of factors to retain (Hayton et al, 2004;Peres-Neto et al, 2005;Zwick and Velicer, 1986), using principal component analysis as the method for extraction with the original data randomized (permutation data) and the mean eigenvalue criterion (Garrido et al, 2013) was used to determine the number of factors to retain.…”

Background: The Cardiac Depression Scale (CDS) has been designed to measure depressive symptoms in patients with heart disease. There is no Arabic version of the CDS. We translated and validated the CDS in an Arabic sample of patients with heart disease. Methods: Forward and back translation of the CDS was followed by assessment of cultural relevance and content validity. The Arabic version of the CDS (A-CDS) and the Arabic version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (A-HADS) were then administered to 260 Arab in-patients with heart disease from 18 Arabic countries. Construct validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis with polychoric correlations. Internal consistency was assessed using ordinal reliability alpha and item-to-factor polychoric correlations. Concurrent validity was assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficient between the A-CDS and the depression subscale of the A-HADS (A-HADS-D).Results: Cultural relevance and content validity of the A-CDS were satisfactory. Exploratory factor analysis revealed three robust factors, without cross-loadings, that formed a single dimension. Internal consistency was high (ordinal reliability alpha for the total scale and the three factors were .94, .91, .86, and .87, respectively; item-to-factor correlations ranged from .77 to .91). Concurrent validity was high (r = .72). The A-CDS demonstrated a closer to normal distribution of scores than the A-HADS-D. Limitations: Sensitivity and specificity of the A-CDS were not objectively assessed. Conclusions: The A-CDS appears to be a valid and reliable instrument to measure depressive symptoms in a representative sample of Arab in-patients with heart disease.Keywords: Arabic; Cardiac Depression Scale; cultural relevance; depression; heart disease; scale validation Highlights• We translated and validated the Cardiac Depression Scale to Arabic.• Cultural relevance and content validity were satisfactory.• A stable, parsimonious, and meaningful three-factor model was created.• Internal consistency and concurrent validity were high.• The translated scale appears to be a valid and reliable instrument.
