Exploratory Factor Analysis of the contents and styles of irrational thoughts assessed by "The Attitudes and Beliefs Inventory" Ruiz Rodríguez, José Fusté Escolano, Adela Pensament Actitud (Psicologia) Thinking Attitude (Psychology) The factor structure of a back translated Spanish version (Lega, Caballo and Ellis, 2002) of the Attitudes and Beliefs Inventory (ABI) (Burgess, 1990) is analyzed in a sample of 250 university students. The Spanish version of the ABI is a 48-items self-report inventory using a 5-point Likert scale that assesses rational and irrational attitudes and beliefs. 24-items cover two dimensions of irrationality: a) areas of content (3 subscales), and b) styles of thinking (4 subscales). An Exploratory Factor Analysis (Parallel Analysis with Unweighted Least Squares method and Promin rotation) was performed with the FACTOR 9.20 software (Lorenzo-Seva and Ferrando, 2013). The results reproduced the main four styles of irrational thinking in relation with the three specific contents of irrational beliefs. However, two factors showed a complex configuration with important cross-loadings of different items in content and style. More analyses are needed to review the specific content and style of such items. 2014-03-17T08:47:30Z 2014-03-17T08:47:30Z 2013-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject https://hdl.handle.net/2445/51983 eng Pòster presentat a: ISSID 2013, The International Society for the Study of Individual Differences, Barcelona, 22 al 25 de juliol cc-by-nc-nd (c) Ruiz et al., 2013 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 2 p. application/pdf Comunicacions a congressos (Psicologia Clínica i Psicobiologia)
