“…This model, which was earlier reported by Myers et al (2008), was only slightly better than the three factor model described by the OCCWG (2005), and than a single factor model. Our results are in line with results regarding the factor structure of the OBQ in adult samples.…”

“…Intercorrelations between the OBQ-44 subscales indicated overlap between factors (OCCWG, 2005). In addition, the factor structure of the OBQ is not fully consistent across studies (Faull, Joseph, Meaden, & Lawrence, 2004;Julien et al, 2008;Myers, Fisher, & Wells, 2008;Woods, Tolin, & Abramowitz, 2004).…”

“…To test whether the factor structure of the child version of the OBQ was comparable to the adult version, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed. Four models were tested: (a) the three-factor model of the OCCWG (2005) consisting of RT, PC and ICT, (b) a single-factor model (Faull et al, 2004), (c) the four-factor model reported by Myers et al (2008) consisting of R, T, PC and ICT; and (d) model c with a general higher-order factor.…”

“…Third, we tested a four-factor model consisting of Perfectionism/Certainty, Importance/Control of Thoughts, Responsibility, and Overestimation of Threat, to assess whether we could replicate the findings of Myers et al (2008). All fit indices were ≥.95.…”

“…Items are graded using a Likert scale ranging from 1 = totally disagree to 7 = totally agree. 21 The OBQ has been translated and validated in different countries, [21][22][23][24][25] and it has been widely used to assess beliefs in OCD patients. 22 The discriminant and convergent validity of the OBQ have been consistently shown to be satisfactory.…”

Introduction: The Obsessional Beliefs Questionnaire (OBQ-44) is a self-administered instrument comprised of 44 items, designed to assess the beliefs of patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The objective of this study was to describe the process of translation and adaption of the questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese. Method: For the translation and adaptation of the OBQ-44, we first obtained authorization from the authors of the original scale to use the instrument. Subsequently, the scale was independently translated from English into Brazilian Portuguese by two health professionals with proficiency in English. Following comparison of the two translations, a preliminary version was obtained and tried out on a sample of 20 patients with a primary diagnosis of OCD. This pretest aimed to assess the patients' understanding of the items and to make any necessary language adaptations. Then, the scale was independently back-translated by two psychiatrists, also with proficiency in English. Following comparison of the two back-translations, a final version in English was developed; this version was evaluated and approved by the authors of the original instrument. Results: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the OBQ-44, after the process of translation and adaptation here described, showed to be of easy interpretation by patients with different educational levels. The instrument can therefore be used to assess patients from different Brazilian socioeconomic contexts. Conclusion: OBQ-44 is a self-administered instrument of easy application. Therefore, it can be useful in the identification of dysfunctional beliefs in OCD patients, contributing toward a better understanding of the role played by such beliefs in the onset and maintenance of the disorder.
