Abstract

Various psychological disorders, such as major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders, share cognitive avoidance as one of the main mechanisms underlying symptom severity and maintenance. A valid and reliable measure that covers a broad array of cognitive avoidance strategies is therefore instrumental, though currently greedily missing. The Questionnaire d'Évitement Cognitif (QEC) was developed as a comprehensive instrument measuring five cognitive avoidance strategies. The current study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Dutch Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (CAQ-NL) in three samples (N sample 1 = 607; N sample 2 = 357; N sample 3 = 448). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the hypothesized five-factor structure of the CAQ-NL. Reliability analysis showed good to excellent internal consistency for the CAQ-NL and its five subscales. Furthermore, Multi-Group CFA revealed that the CAQ-NL demonstrated configural and metric invariance across the three samples. Convergent validity of the CAQ-NL was supported by substantial correlations with brooding, with more cognitive avoidance being related to more brooding. In addition, cognitive avoidance was negatively associated with psychological well-being and positively with symptoms of depression and anxiety, which corroborates the instrument's concurrent validity. Moreover, the CAQ-NL was predictive of depressive symptoms six months later, supporting its predictive validity. In sum, results of the present study provide support for the validity and reliability of the CAQ-NL.

荷兰认知回避问卷的心理测量特性。
各种心理障碍,如重度抑郁症和焦虑症,认知回避都是症状严重和维持的主要机制之一。因此,一个涵盖广泛的认知回避策略的有效可靠的测量方法是有用的,尽管目前还缺乏。Évitement认知问卷(QEC)是一种测量五种认知回避策略的综合工具。本研究旨在评估荷兰认知回避问卷(CAQ-NL)在三个样本中的心理测量特性(N样本1 = 607;N个样本2 = 357;N样本3 = 448)。验证性因子分析支持CAQ-NL的五因子结构假设。信度分析表明,CAQ-NL及其5个分量表具有较好的内部一致性。此外,多组CFA分析显示,CAQ-NL在三个样本中表现出结构和度量不变性。CAQ-NL的收敛效度与沉思有显著的相关性,更多的认知回避与更多的沉思相关。此外,认知回避与心理健康呈负相关,与抑郁和焦虑症状呈正相关,这证实了该工具的并发效度。此外,CAQ-NL可以预测六个月后的抑郁症状,支持其预测效度。综上所述,本研究结果为CAQ-NL的效度和信度提供了支持。
