Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and provide a preliminary validation of a new measure of scrupulosity, the Scrupulous Thoughts and Behaviours Questionnaire (STBQ). More specifically, the STBQ was designed to assess a range of scrupulosity-related thoughts/obsessions and behaviours/compulsions. Following item development, a sample of non-referred college students completed the STBQ along with numerous validation measures. Based on factor analyses, a two-factor solution was retained. The first factor consisted of items that measure scrupulosity-themed obsessions and thoughts, and the second factor consisted of items that measure scrupulosity-themed compulsions and related behaviours. Support was found for the validity of STBQ, as both subscales were significantly and positively associated with measures of relevant constructs, including the Pennsylvania Inventory of Scrupulosity-Revised, the only other self-report measure of scrupulosity, thought–action fusion, religiosity, and obsessive–compulsive disorder symptoms. As the first known self-report measure to assess scrupulosity obsessions and compulsions, the STBQ has a potential utility in clinical practice and research.

一种新的审查尺度的发展和初步验证：审查思想和行为问卷

本研究的目的是开发一种新的谨慎性衡量标准，即仔细思考和行为问卷（STBQ），并对其进行初步验证。更具体地说，STBQ旨在评估一系列与谨慎相关的想法/痴迷和行为/强迫。在项目开发之后，非转介大学生的样本完成了STBQ以及许多验证措施。基于因素分析，保留了一个双因素解决方案。第一个因素由衡量以谨慎为主题的痴迷和想法的项目组成，第二个因素由测量以谨慎为标题的强迫和相关行为的项目组成。STBQ的有效性得到了支持，因为这两个分量表都与相关结构的测量值显著正相关，包括宾夕法尼亚州审查量表修订版，这是唯一一个关于谨慎、思想-行动融合、宗教信仰和强迫症症状的自报测量值。STBQ作为已知的第一种评估谨慎强迫症和强迫性的自我报告指标，在临床实践和研究中具有潜在的实用性。
