“…It is comprised of seven items rated on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = never true to 7 = always true) yielding a total score, with higher scores indicating greater cognitive fusion. CFQ has shown good psychometric properties with excellent internal consistency (α = .88 to .96) and good convergent validity (48,49). In this study, CFQ demonstrated excellent internal consistency (α = .94).…”

“…Cognitive determinants. Cognitive determinants were assessed via a questionnaire (47) developed for patients and based on two components of the HBM (11) and the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ) (48,49). The HBM questionnaire is comprised of six items, divided into two subscales, rated on a 6-point Likert scale (1 = absolutely disagree to 6 = absolutely agree).…”

Background Vaccination uptake is a complex behavior, influenced by numerous factors. Behavioral science theories are commonly used to explain the psychosocial determinants of an individual’s health behavior. This study examined the behavioural, cognitive, and emotional determinants of COVID-19 vaccination intention based on well-established theoretical models: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behaviour (COM-B) and the Health Belief Model (HBM). Additionally, it examined the mediating role of institutional trust in the relationship between determinants of these models and vaccination intentions. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to May 2022, where university students in Cyprus completed an online survey. Results A total of 484 University students in Cyprus completed an online survey, with 23.8% reporting being vaccinated with fewer than three vaccination doses and/or no intention to vaccinate further. Hierarchical logistic regression analysis showed that higher scores in institutional trust, perceived severity, motivation, physical and psychological capability were significantly associated with higher odds of vaccination intention. Higher psychological flexibility and not being infected with COVID-19 were also associated with higher odds of vaccination intention, but not in the final model when all determinants were included. Additionally, significant indirect effects of psychological capability, motivation and perceived severity on vaccination intention were found to be mediated by institutional trust. Conclusions When tackling COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy, behavioural, cognitive, and emotional aspects should be considered. Stakeholders and policymakers are advised to implement targeted vaccination programs in young people while at the same time building trust and improving their capabilities and motivation towards getting vaccinated.

“…The instrument is broadly used for assessment and research within the ACT, therefore, several studies have analyzed its psychometric properties in different populations. Evidence reveals that the unidimensional structure of the CFQ is the most optimal configuration among college students and the adult population in Greece (Zacharia et al, 2021); and the general population and clinical population in Germany (China et al, 2018). Other studies require the presence of correlated errors 2 to improve the fit indices of the instrument.…”

Cognitive Fusion is related to psychological problems, such as anxiety and depression, and is assessed through the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ). Aim: to confirm the unidimensional structure of the CFQ, its internal consistency reliability, and convergent and divergent validity in a sample of Ecuadorian college students. Method: instrumental design using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to estimate convergent and divergent validity of the CFQ. Participants: 356 college students (59.1% women) aged between 18 and 58 years (M = 25.52, SD = 7.51) from several universities in Ecuador (43.9% public institutions). Results: the unidimensional structure of the CFQ is confirmed, through adequate fit indices. Its reliability is excellent (ω = .954) and, regarding convergent and divergent validity, it correlates positively with Experiential Avoidance (AAQ-II) and negatively with Satisfaction with Life (SWLS). Conclusion: The Psychometric properties of the CFQ are adequate for its application in Ecuadorian college students.
