Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Perceived Scale catastrophic cognition in a sample of adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 in a subclinical group.
Method: The study is cross-sectional, and its statistical population was selected from among the high school students in Qods city of Tehran Province. The sample size of 783 students was selected by multistage sampling. Research instrument was catastrophic cognition questionnaire that was applied to the sample along with Academic Expectations Stress (AES) and Self-Efficacy questionnaires.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis of the scale of the three-factor model supports (df/S–Bχ2=4.52, RMSEA=0.067, GFI=0.97, CFI= 0.97). Divergent and convergent validity through the Pearson correlation coefficient, cognition catastrophic scale with the (GSE) and (AES) questionnaires were satisfactory. The results of Cornbrash’s alpha coefficient and retest coefficients were 0.84 and 0.83 respectively.
Conclusion: Therefore, based on the results of this research, cognition catastrophic scale has favorable psychometric properties and can be used for research purposes and assessment of anxiety and emotional disorders.
