Description¶
A 19-item adjective-pair self-report assessment developed by Bilgin to measure individuals' cognitive flexibility.
Components¶
- Cognitive Flexibility Scale (Bilgin, 2009a): The Cognitive Flexibility Scale is a 19-item adjective-pair self-report instrument developed by Bilgin (2009a), with scores ranging from 19 to 95 where higher points mean greater flexibility. The article reports that "19 items in CFS explain 51% of the variance", a criterion-validity correlation of .-44 with the Non-Functional Attitude Scale, Cronbach's Alpha of .92, and item-total correlations between .49 and .63. It served as the dependent measure in the study. (Bülent GÜNDÜZ (2013))
Claims¶
- Higher irrational beliefs, obsessive attachment and anxiety accompany lower cognitive flexibility, while negligent attachment shows an unexpected positive relationship [+W]
- Hostility and afraid attachment do not meaningfully predict cognitive flexibility, while the other variables do [+W]
- Irrational beliefs, obsessive attachment and anxiety are the strongest stepwise predictors of cognitive flexibility in one correlational study of university students [+W]
- Attachment styles, irrational beliefs and psychological symptoms jointly explain approximately 41% of the variance in university students' cognitive flexibility [+W]
