Theorists have speculated that intelligence is positively associated with the capacity to benefit from cognitive-behavioral therapies. We evaluated this notion by relating pre-treatment measures of fluid and crystallized intelligence to self-reported symptom reduction in a naturalistic study (n = 106) of cognitive therapy for outpatients with principal diagnoses of major depression, dysthymia, or generalized anxiety disorder. Intelligence measures did not significantly predict outcome, and nonsignificant relationships were in the opposite direction from the theoretical prediction. Discussion centered on possible limitations to the generalizability of these results and on the logical interpretation of prediction studies in psychotherapy research.
理论学家推测，智力与从认知行为疗法中获益的能力呈正相关。在一项针对主要诊断为重度抑郁症、心境恶劣或广泛性焦虑症的门诊患者的认知疗法自然主义研究（n = 106）中，我们通过将流体智力和晶体智力的治疗前测量值与自我报告的症状减轻情况相关联，对这一观点进行了评估。智力测量并未显著预测结果，且不显著的关系与理论预测方向相反。讨论集中在这些结果可推广性的可能限制以及心理治疗研究中预测研究的逻辑解释上。
