BACKGROUND: Cognitive attentional syndrome and metacognitive beliefs are the two elements that comprise the metacognitive therapy model. The aim of the Multidimensional Cognitive Attentional Syndrome Scale (MCASS) is to comprehensively measure this construct.
AIM: To test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the MCASS and its use in patients and controls.
METHODS: A total of 229 participants (115 patients and 114 healthy controls) were included in this study. Confirmatory factor analyses, internal consistency analyses (Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω), concurrent validity analyses (correlations with relevant measures), test-retest analyses, and measurement invariance analyses were conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish MCASS.
RESULTS: Confirmatory factor analyses supported the seven-factor structure of the MCASS after excluding item 7 in the patients and controls. The internal consistency was acceptable to excellent (Cronbach's α = 0.694-0.952 in patients, 0.695-0.954 in controls; McDonald's ω = 0.695-0.954 and 0.737-0.948, respectively). Test-retest reliability was moderate to good (ICC = 0.620-0.741 for subscales; ICC = 0.705 for total score). The correlations between the MCASS subscales and the related constructs were generally moderate (r = 0.316-0.522) except for external fixation. In terms of measurement invariance across clinical and non-clinical groups. Results supported configural and metric invariance, while partial support was found for strict invariance.
CONCLUSION: The Turkish modified 20-item MCASS is a suitable tool for clinical and non-clinical settings. However, diagnosis-specific cognitive attentional syndrome scales are needed for comprehensive assessment.
