Automatic Thinking Questionnaire (ATQ-8): New evidence based on CFA, IRT, and SEM
The present study aims at providing psychometric properties of the ATQ-8 in a Peruvian students sample. We worked with a non-probabilistic sample of 217 university students (68.7% women). Along with the ATQ-8, instruments to measure anxiety, depression, satisfaction with life, and mindfulness were u...

| Sumario: | The present study aims at providing psychometric properties of the ATQ-8 in a Peruvian students sample. We worked with a non-probabilistic sample of 217 university students (68.7% women). Along with the ATQ-8, instruments to measure anxiety, depression, satisfaction with life, and mindfulness were used. Confirmatory factor analysis found an adequate fit of the one-dimensional model (CFI = .99, GFI = .99, RMSEA = .07, SRMR = .03). Likewise, alpha (.91) and omega (.90) reliability indices were obtained, which show adequate internal consistency. On the other hand, the items showed acceptable levels of discrimination (a) and difficulty (b) monotonous. The association of the ATQ-8 with other variables showed a statistically significant relationship with the DASS-21 (depression and anxiety), satisfaction with life (SWLS) and mindfulness (MAAS-5). The results show an adequate psychometric adjustment that supports its use in university students and for scientific research purposes. |
