| Abstract: | An important step in validating measures of dysfunctional cognition is to ensure that they are not confounded with general intelligence. We evaluated the Cognitions Checklist (Depression and Anxiety subscales), the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale, and the Hopelessness Scale in a sample of 162 outpatients with depressive or anxiety disorders. These measures were not confounded with fluid or crystallized intelligence. Furthermore, correlations between the dysfunctional cognition scales and symptom severity measures were not attenuated when intelligence was statistically controlled. |
