Desire thinking is a voluntary cognitive process that involves the perseverative focus on memories, images and information related to a desired target. The aim of the present study was to validate the Hebrew version of the Desire Thinking Questionnaire (DTQ; Caselli & Spada, 2011) in a sample of adolescents and to investigate its relationship with measures of thought suppression, impulsivity and individual-based compulsive sexual behaviour.
In Study 1, a convenience sample of 718 adolescents completed the newly translated Desire Thinking Questionnaire in Hebrew (DTQ-H) and results were subjected to an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). In Study 2, a convenience sample of 379 adolescents completed a battery of questionnaires including the DTQ-H. A Confirmatory Factors Analysis was performed on the DTQ-H and validity was ascertained by correlating with other measures.
In Study 1, a 9-item two-factor structure was identified. A 6-item two-factor structure was confirmed in Study 2. Results also indicated that the DTQ-H has acceptable levels of reliability, and good concurrent and incremental validity in predicting compulsive sexual behaviour.
The 6-item DTQ-H appears to be a reliable and valid measure of desire thinking and may be used also on adolescents - an understudied population.
欲望思维是一种自愿的认知过程，涉及对与期望目标相关的记忆、图像和信息的持续关注。本研究的目的是验证 Caselli 和 Spada（2011）的欲望思维问卷（DTQ）的希伯来语版本在青少年样本中的有效性，并研究其与思维抑制、冲动和基于个体的强迫性性行为的关系。
在研究 1 中，718 名青少年通过便利抽样完成了新翻译的希伯来语版欲望思维问卷（DTQ-H），并对结果进行了探索性因素分析（EFA）。在研究 2 中，379 名青少年通过便利抽样完成了包括 DTQ-H 在内的一系列问卷。对 DTQ-H 进行验证性因素分析，并通过与其他测量工具的相关性来确定其有效性。
在研究 1 中，确定了 9 项 2 因素结构。在研究 2 中，确认了 6 项 2 因素结构。结果还表明，DTQ-H 具有可接受的信度水平，并且在预测强迫性性行为方面具有良好的同时效度和增量效度。
6 项 DTQ-H 似乎是一种可靠且有效的欲望思维测量工具，也可用于青少年这一研究较少的人群。
