Development and Validation of a Measure of Irrational Belief.

Malouff, John M.; Schutte, Nicola S.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v54 n6 p860-62 Dec 1986

Describes the development of a 20-item measure of irrational belief that asks only about irrational belief and not about anxiety reactions. Two studies of the scale produced evidence that it has good internal consistency and good test retest reliability. Three additional studies of the scale found evidence of validity. (Author/NB)
