“…It is worth noting that other validation studies of the MCQ-A in other languages have also encountered the same problem particularly with item 2 (i.e. in a Dutch sample [14]). Item 12 relates to factor Conscience or thought monitoring, concepts that might have been difficult to apprehend, particularly in younger adolescents.…”

“…The MCQ-A was then adapted for adolescents in 2004 by Cartwright-Hatton, Mather, Illingworth, Brocki, Harrington et Wells [6]. The adult version was adapted and validated in many different languages [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], as well as the adolescent version [14][15][16][17] and the child version [18,19]. Even though the MCQ French version for adult has been validated a few year ago [7], the need to use an adolescent version for our young French population in both clinical and non-clinical settings is still very much needed.…”

IntroductionThe Meta-Cognitions Questionnaire for Adolescents (MCQ-A) measures individual differences of metacognitive beliefs and monitoring thought to be involved in the onset and maintenance of psychological disorders, especially in those involving anxiety. This assessment tool has been employed in research and clinical settings involving French-speaking adolescents, but appropriate validation has yet to be conducted. This article aims to first validate the francophone version of the MCQ-Af using measures sensitive to the expression of anxiety, and secondly, to examine the influence of age and gender on metacognitive beliefs, anxiety and their links.Method 214 adolescents (114 females) between 13 and 17 completed the MCQ-Af (French version) as well as the Revised-Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (R-CMAS), French version, to assess anxiety manifestations. Structural validity was examined with confirmatory factor analyses. Three models were compared to the higher order five factor model proposed in the original validation study. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were also performed. Student's t tests as well as simple and stepwise regressions were conducted to assess for age and gender.

“…In line with the cognitive model, a relation between dysfunctional beliefs and obsessive–compulsive (OC) symptoms has been found in several child studies [16–25]. However, other studies yielded equivocal evidence for the cognitive model in childhood OCD [26–29]. In two studies it has been tested if inflated responsibility beliefs affected OC symptoms in children based on an experimental design.…”

Reframing cognitions is assumed to play an important role in treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, there hardly is any empirical support for this assumption, especially for children. The aim of this study was to examine if changing dysfunctional beliefs is a mediating mechanism of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for childhood OCD. Fifty-eight children (8-18 years) with OCD received CBT. Dysfunctional beliefs (OBQ-CV) and OCD severity (CY-BOCS) were measured pre-treatment, mid-treatment, post-treatment, and at 16-week follow-up. Results showed that OCD severity and dysfunctional beliefs decreased during CBT. Changes in severity predicted changes in beliefs within the same time interval. Our results did not support the hypothesis that changing dysfunctional beliefs mediates treatment effect. Future studies are needed to replicate these findings and shed more light on the role of explicit and implicit cognitions in treatment for childhood OCD.
