The Road to Cognitive Skill Acquisition: Psychometric Evaluation of the Competencies of Cognitive Therapy Scale.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Cognitive therapy (CT) skills are an index of treatment progress. They predict changes in patients' acute depressive symptoms and symptom relapses. However, the psychometric properties of the various measures of CT skills are poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the factor structure of the Competencies of Cognitive Therapy Scale-Self Report (CCTS-SR) and assess its concurrent validity.

Methods

The psychometric properties of the CCTS-SR were explored by using data from a panel of online respondents (N=410). The fit of a one-factor solution was explored by using a confirmatory factor analysis. Exploratory bifactor analyses (EBFA) were then conducted to determine other possible factor structures.

Results

The one-factor solution did not fit the dat
