Validität des Fragebogens irrationaler Einstellungen (FIE)

Published Online:January 01, 2006https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924.52.1.1

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Der Fragebogen irrationaler Einstellungen (FIE) wird zur Diagnostik irrationaler Einstellungen eingesetzt, allerdings sind Validitätsbelege rar. Die vorliegende Untersuchung mit Depressiven (N = 94) und Studenten (N = 97) stellt die Frage nach der faktoriellen und der Kriteriumsvalidität des FIE. Konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen zeigten, dass sowohl das vierfaktorielle Modell des Autors des Fragebogens für den FIE unzureichend ist als auch ein explorativ gewonnenes zweifaktorielles Modell. Der FIE erweist sich als nützlich, um charakteristische Gedankenkombinationen bei Depressiven aufzudecken, er bedarf jedoch der Revision.


Validity of the Questionnaire of Irrational Beliefs (FIE): An investigation with depressions and students

Abstract. The Questionnaire of Irrational Beliefs was developed for the diagnosis of irrational attitudes. However, evidence for its validity is rare. The aim of the present study with depressives (n = 94) and non-depressives (n = 97) is to explore the factorial validity and the criterion validity of the FIE. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) revealed that the four-factor model proposed by the author of the questionnaire had to be rejected. Exploratory principle component analyses revealed a two-factor model, which, however, could not be supported in CFA. The FIE seems to be useful for the identification of cognitive patterns of irrational believes related to depression. But still, a revision of the FIE is recommended.
