去中心化被定义为一种能力，即能够将自己的思想和情感视为头脑中暂时的、客观的事件，而不是必然真实的自我反映。体验问卷（EQ）旨在测量去中心化和反刍思维，但尚未经过实证验证。当前的研究调查了本科生和临床人群中EQ的因素结构。使用两个本科生样本得出了一个单一的单因素去中心化结构。这个去中心化因素的收敛效度和区分效度在与抑郁症状、抑郁反刍、经验性回避和情绪调节的测量呈负相关中得到了证明。最后，EQ的因素结构在抑郁症缓解期个体的临床样本中得到了重复验证，并且去中心化因素与同时存在的抑郁症状水平呈负相关。这一系列研究的结果为EQ作为一种去中心化的测量工具提供了初步支持。
Decentering is defined as the ability to observe one's thoughts and feelings as temporary, objective events in the mind, as opposed to reflections of the self that are necessarily true. The Experiences Questionnaire (EQ) was designed to measure both decentering and rumination but has not been empirically validated. The current study investigated the factor structure of the EQ in both undergraduate and clinical populations. A single, unifactorial decentering construct emerged using 2 undergraduate samples. The convergent and discriminant validity of this decentering factor was demonstrated in negative relationships with measures of depression symptoms, depressive rumination, experiential avoidance, and emotion regulation. Finally, the factor structure of the EQ was replicated in a clinical sample of individuals in remission from depression, and the decentering factor evidenced a negative relationship to concurrent levels of depression symptoms. Findings from this series of studies offer initial support for the EQ as a measure of decentering.
