Previous evaluations of the psychometric properties of available measures of irrational beliefs have failed to examine the discriminant validity of these instruments. The present investigation (N = 142) of the relationship between measures of irrational beliefs and trait anxiety provided evidence of discriminant validity for one frequently used measure of irrational beliefs (Rational Behavior Inventory), but failed to provide such evidence for perhaps the most popular measure of irrational beliefs (Irrational Beliefs Test). Both measures of beliefs were correlated more highly with cognitive features of trait anxiety than with somatic aspects.
先前对现有非理性信念测量方法的心理测量特性的评估未能检验这些工具的区分效度。本次调查(N = 142)探讨了非理性信念测量方法与特质焦虑之间的关系,为一种常用的非理性信念测量方法(理性行为量表)提供了区分效度的证据,但未能为可能是最流行的非理性信念测量方法(非理性信念测试)提供此类证据。两种信念测量方法与特质焦虑的认知特征的相关性都高于与躯体方面的相关性。
