This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (CAQ; Gosselin, P., Langlois, F., Freeston, M. H., Ladouceur, R., Dugas, M. J., & Pelletier, O. (2002). Le Questionnaire d'évitement cognitif (QEC): Développement et validation auprès d'adultes et d'adolescents [The Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (CAQ): Development and validation among adult and adolescent samples]. Journal de Thérapie Comportementale et Cognitive, 12, 24-37) English translation. Questionnaires were administered to a sample of 456 (65.3% female; mean age=23.13 years, S.D.=5.18 years) undergraduate students at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. The CAQ assesses five worry-related cognitive avoidance strategies, namely Thought Suppression, Thought Substitution, Distraction, Avoidance of Threatening Stimuli, and the Transformation of Images into Thoughts. The CAQ scale and subscales showed good to excellent internal consistency and good stability over a 5-week period. A confirmatory factor analysis found support for the proposed subscales, though the overall goodness-of-fit was lower than expected. Preliminary evidence of convergent and divergent validity was found with measures of worry, thought suppression, and dispositional coping styles. The relationship between the CAQ and specific dispositional coping styles, however, was dependent on the context of the situation in which the information-seeking and information-avoidant coping strategies were employed. Specifically, the CAQ was negatively correlated with vigilance in controllable situations and positively correlated with both information-avoidance in controllable situations and information-seeking in uncontrollable situations.
本研究调查了认知回避问卷（CAQ；戈斯林，P.，朗格卢瓦，F.，弗里斯顿，M. H.，拉杜塞尔，R.，迪加斯，M. J.，& 佩尔捷，O.（2002年）。《认知回避问卷》（QEC）：在成年人和青少年中的编制与验证 [《认知回避问卷》（CAQ）：在成年人和青少年样本中的编制与验证]。《行为与认知治疗杂志》，12，24 - 37）英文译本的心理测量特性。对加拿大蒙特利尔康考迪亚大学的456名本科生样本（65.3%为女性；平均年龄 = 23.13岁，标准差 = 5.18岁）进行了问卷调查。CAQ评估了五种与担忧相关的认知回避策略，即思维抑制、思维替代、分心、回避威胁性刺激以及将意象转化为思维。CAQ量表及其子量表显示出良好至优异的内部一致性，并且在5周期间具有良好的稳定性。验证性因素分析为所提议的子量表提供了支持，不过整体拟合优度低于预期。通过对担忧、思维抑制和特质应对方式的测量，发现了收敛效度和区分效度的初步证据。然而，CAQ与特定特质应对方式之间的关系取决于采用寻求信息和回避信息应对策略的情境背景。具体而言，CAQ在可控情境中与警惕性呈负相关，在可控情境中与信息回避呈正相关，在不可控情境中与寻求信息呈正相关。
