Estructura factorial del Cuestionario de Fusión Cognitiva en universitarios de Lima

Abstract

Background: Cogni ve fusion is a core concept in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The Cogni ve Fusion Ques onnaire (CFQ) was developed as a unidimensional measure that would overcome the limita ons of previous endeavors. Method: The current study analyzed the factor structure of the CFQ in Peruvian undergraduates (n = 450, 53% female). It also examined whether such structure was invariant between males and females. Results: Data supported the hypothesized unidimensionality, as well as strict invariance. No difference was found between males and females regarding the latent means of cogni ve fusion. Reliability of the scale was high (ω = .916). Conclusion:Sugges ons are made that future studies a) include other measures alongside the CFQ, b) examine the quality of the CFQ at different levels of the construct, and c) test whether or not different measures of cogni ve (de)fusion measure the same construct.

¿El Cuestionario de Aceptación y Acción II mide realmente la evitación experiencial?

“…In the present study, the Spanish translation of the CFQ was used (Romero-Moreno, Márquez-González, Losada, Gillanders, & Fernández-Fernández, 2014), as modified by Ruiz, Suárez-Falcón, Riaño-Hernández, and Gillanders (2017). This version of the CFQ has been previously tested in Peruvian undergraduates, thereby confirming its unidimensional structure and high reliability (Valencia & Falcón, 2019). Reliability was very high in our data (ω = .92).…”

Psychometric properties of the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ) from a sample of Ecuadorian college students

“…Regarding the prevalence of CF, the sample had a total mean close to half of the total score of the instrument. In this case, the presence of CF is relatively moderate, which differs from other studies among college students that suggest low levels of CF (Flynn et al, 2018;Ruiz et al, 2017;Valencia & Falcón, 2019). This suggests a different dynamic of the phenomenon within the Ecuadorian context that will require further studies.…”

“…Likewise, a study on Colombian college students (with slight linguistic modifications) concluded the unidimensionality of the measure and its excellent internal consistency (α = .89; Ruiz et al, 2017). In the Peruvian population, it obtained a similar dimensionality and internal consistency (ω = .916; Valencia & Falcón, 2019); and in the Brazilian population (correlating the errors of items 1 and 2, and 2 and 3) it got an adequate internal consistency (α = .93;Lucena-Santos et al, 2017). As it relates to Ecuador, the psychometric properties of the CFQ are unknown in any population segment.…”

Initial psychometric evaluation of the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire in Peruvian undergraduates

“…There are no reversed items, so that all of them are averaged in order to get a total score. An existing Spanish version (Ruiz et al, 2017), which had been previously tested in Peruvian undergraduates (Valencia & Falcón, 2019), was used in this study. Reliability was high in the present data (ω = .922).…”
