Psychometric properties of shortened versions of the automatic thoughts questionnaire
Abstract
Measures of depression are increasingly being used as outcomes or predictors by organizational and consumer psychologists. One such measure is the Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (ATQ). However, questions about the 30-item ATQ’s factor structure and its length for use in survey research remain. The authors offer 15-and 8-item shortened versions of the ATQ. Two samples ( n = 434 and n = 419) were used to derive the reduced versions. A single factor was found to underlie both reduced versions, with scores on this factor yielding strong estimates of internal consistency and nomological validity. Two more cross-validation samples ( n = 163 and n = 91) also showed support for the 15-and 8-item versions. Overall, results suggest that these reduced-item versions of the ATQ are useful alternatives to measuring cognitions associated with depression.

The 15-item Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (ATQ) has excellent internal consistency, with an alpha coefficient of 0.96.
“The questionnaire proved to have excellent internal consistency, with an alpha coefficient of 0.96 for the 15-item version (Netemeyer et al., 2002).”

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.
