认知灵活性量表（cognitive flexibility inventory，CFI）是一种简单的自我报告测量方法，用于测量个体成功挑战和用更平衡和适应性思维取代不适应思维所需的认知灵活性类型。它旨在衡量认知灵活性的三个方面：（a）将困难情况视为可控的倾向;（B）感知生活事件和人类行为的多种替代解释的能力;以及（c）对困难情况产生多种替代解决方案的能力。本手稿中的两项研究描述了CFI的初步发展和一项为期7周的纵向研究。研究结果表明，CFI具有可靠的双因素结构，良好的内部一致性，以及较高的7周重测信度。初步证据获得的CFI的收敛结构效度通过CFI的相关性与其他措施的认知灵活性（认知灵活性量表）和应对（应对方式检查表修订版），分别。通过与BDI-II的相关性，还证明了CFI的并行结构效度。需要进一步的研究，以调查临床人群中的CFI的可靠性和有效性。
The cognitive flexibility inventory (CFI) was developed to be a brief self-report measure of the type of cognitive flexibility necessary for individuals to successfully challenge and replace maladaptive thoughts with more balanced and adaptive thinking. It was designed to measure three aspects of cognitive flexibility: (a) the tendency to perceive difficult situations as controllable; (b) the ability to perceive multiple alternative explanations for life occurrences and human behavior; and (c) the ability to generate multiple alternative solutions to difficult situations. The two studies presented in this manuscript describe the initial development of the CFI and a 7-week longitudinal study. Results from these studies indicate the CFI has a reliable two-factor structure, excellent internal consistency, and high 7-week test-retest reliability. Preliminary evidence was obtained for the CFI's convergent construct validity via the CFI's correlations with other measures of cognitive flexibility (Cognitive Flexibility Scale) and coping (Ways of Coping Checklist-Revised), respectively. Support was also demonstrated for the concurrent construct validity of the CFI via its correlation with the BDI-II. Further research is needed to investigate the reliability and validity of the CFI among clinical populations.
