| Sumario: | For cognitive psychology in emotional disorders there is a systematic bias in information processing, resulting in exaggerated and inconsistent assessments of reality. Catastrophic Thinking is a cognitive bias studied by this discipline, due to the important role it plays in the activation of schemas linked to anxiety (Beck, Emery & Greenberg 1985). Given the lack of instruments to assess this cognitive bias in our local environment, the objective of this work is to make preliminary translation and adaptation studies of the Catastrophic Cognitions Questionnaire-Modified by Khawaja et al. (1994) to evaluate its psychometric properties in a male population between 45 and 75 years old, of our environment. It can be concluded that the CCQ - (Spanish version) is a preliminary contribution for the assessment of catastrophic thinking in adult males in our environment given an adequate psychometric performance. We suggest further studies in other large and heterogeneous samples. |
