本研究描述了青少年元认知问卷（MCQ-A）的编制。该问卷的成人版本已被广泛使用，情绪障碍的元认知理论在成人文献中也已颇具影响力。本研究旨在探讨青少年元认知的普遍性及其与情绪的关系。MCQ-A对177名年龄在13岁至17岁之间的学龄儿童进行了管理，同时进行了情绪健康的测量。因素分析提出了一个五因素的解决方案，类似于成人版的报告。量表内部一致性较高。分数从低到高的年龄范围，表明元认知信念是由青春期建立。MCQ-A的得分与许多情绪症状的测量高度相关。MCQ-A是测量青少年元认知信念的一个可靠和有效的工具。13至17岁的年轻人报告了一系列类型和水平的元认知信念，这些信念与情绪症状呈正相关。(C)2002年爱思唯尔科技有限公司All rights reserved.
This study describes the development of the Meta-cognitions Questionnaire for Adolescents (MCQ-A). The adult version of this questionnaire has been widely used, and the meta-cognitive theory of emotional disorders has become influential in the adult literature. This study sought to examine the prevalence and emotional correlates of meta-cognition in adolescents. The MCQ-A was administered to 177 schoolchildren aged 13 through 17 years, together with measures of emotional well-being. Factor analysis suggested a five-factor solution similar to that reported for the adult version. Internal consistency of the scale was high. Scores ranged from low to high across the age range, suggesting that meta-cognitive beliefs are well-established by adolescence. Scores on the MCQ-A were highly correlated with a number of measures of emotional symptoms. The MCQ-A is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring meta-cognitive beliefs in adolescents. Young people aged between 13 and 17 years report a range of types and levels of meta-cognitive beliefs and these are positively associated with emotional symptoms. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.
