Psychometric Analysis of the Perceptions of Computerized Therapy Questionnaire-Patient Version (PCTQ-P)
Abstract
Dissemination and implementation science (DIS) in psychology is a growing area of research, with the potential to increase access to evidence based care. However, the field is characterized by a paucity of validated measures of DIS constructs. The present study aimed to fill this gap in the literature by examining the psychometric properties of the Perceptions of Computerized Therapy Questionnaire-Patient Version (PCTQ-P), a self-report questionnaire for potential consumers based on Diffusion of Innovations theory. Undergraduate students participated in this two-study design, and were instructed to complete a battery of self-report measures, including the PCTQ-P. Internal consistency reliability, retest reliability, and discriminant validity were evaluated. Results provide evidence that the PCTQ-P is a psychometrically sound instrument for assessing potential consumers' perceptions of computer-based psychological treatments that are distinct from general help-seeking attitudes. With slight adaptation, the PCTQ-P can be used to examine other therapeutic modalities. Potential applications of the measure are discussed.

“The PCTQ-P (Carper et al. 2011) is a 39-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure the five characteristics of innovations identified by Rogers (2003) that have been shown to influence subsequent adoption—relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, observability, and trialability.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
