ABSTRACT
A fusão cognitiva é um conceito chave na Terapia de Aceitação e Compromisso, mecanismo em que a pessoa se funde com seus pensamentos e os toma como se fossem fatos reais. Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram de estimar novas evidências de validade do Questionário de Fusão Cognitiva (CFQ) e de testar a invariância dos itens entre amostra brasileira e franco-canadense. Participaram desta pesquisa 578 adultos brasileiros e 676 adultos franco-canadenses. A Análise Fatorial Exploratória revelou adequação da estrutura unidimensional, conforme hipótese teórica. O Rating Scale Model demostrou índices de dificuldade entre -0,42 e 0,69 e índices ajustes adequados (Infit/Outfit) entre 0,79 e 1,45 para os itens de ambas as versões e descrição sumarizada dos níveis de theta dos participantes. A Análise de DIF apontou dois itens que não suportavam invariância no parâmetro dificuldade em função das diferenças culturais. Contudo, observou-se invariância destes parâmetros quando avaliados em função do gênero dos participantes de cada amostra.
The cognitive fusion is a key concept in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-ACT. It is a mechanism in which the person merges with his/hers thoughts as if they were real. The objectives of this study were to estimate new validity evidences of the Brazilian version of the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ) and to test the items invariance among Brazilian and French-Canadian sample. The sample comprised 578 Brazilian adults and 676 French-Canadian adults. The Exploratory Factor Analysis showed adjustment of the one-dimensional structure, confirming the theoretical hypothesis. The Rating Scale Model showed difficulty indexes between -0, 42 e 0, 69, god fit indexes (Infit/Outfit) between 0,79 e 1,45 to both items versions, as well as summarized description of participants' theta levels. The DIF analysis showed that two items violated the invariance of the difficulty parameter due to cultural clashes. However, it was observed invariance of these parameters when the participants'gender was considered in the analysis.

Objective:To revise the Chinese version of the Parental Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire (PPFQ) and test its validity and reliability.Methods:Totally 1015 parents from 2 primary school of Beijing were recruited and asked to complete the Chinese version of PPFQ.Item analysis was conducted to identify valid items.The parents were randomly allocated into two groups where one subset (n =510) was used for exploratory factor analysis (EFA),and the other (n =505) for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and discriminant validity.In addition,responses of 389 participants selected by simple random sampling was assessed in criterion validity with the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ),Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Second Edition (AAQ-Ⅱ]),Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS),Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS),Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS),Trait Coping Style Questionnaire(TCSQ) and Conners Child Behavior Rating Scale (CBRS).Seven weeks later,225 of the participants were retested.Results:The exploratory factor analysis extracted 3 components,and explained 58.1％ of the total variance.The factor loading of items ranged between 0.63 and 0.86.The confirmatory factor analysis verified the 3-factors model (x2/df=1.77,NFI =0.94,IFI =0.97,GFI =0.96,TLI =0.96,CFI =0.97,RMSEA =0.04).Discriminant validity testing demonstrated the three revised factors had adequate discriminant validity in relation to one another (Ps ＜ 0.01).Criterion validity results showed that the total and subscale scores of the PPFQ were negatively correlated with the scores of CFQ,AAQ-Ⅱ,SAS,SDS,TCSQ-NC,CBRS (r =-0.16--0.52,Ps ＜ 0.01),and were positively correlated with the scores of MAAS,TCSQ-PC (r =0.14-0.37,Ps ＜ 0.01).The total and subscale scores of the PPFQ demonstrated good internal consistency Cronbach's α were 0.77-0.86 and test-retest reliability coefficient were 0.55-0.75.Conclusion:It suggests tthe validity and reliability of the adapted Chinese version of the Parental Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire be satisfactory,and could be used in the clinical and research work in China.
ABSTRACT
El presente artículo expone un estudio de caso siguiendo la formulación analítica conductual y los componentes y principios de la intervención conductual planteados por la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso y la Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional, que retoma la importancia de la conducta verbal y sus características al momento de formular e intervenir en casos como el de un joven que acude a consulta psicológica con diagnóstico de trastorno depresivo y ansiedad por déficit en habilidades sociales, como en el presente caso en particular. Los resultados señalan la utilidad terapéutica de las estrategias empleadas, especialmente en el componente de compromiso y autocontrol que el consultante desarrolló. Discute además la pertinencia de abordar el caso clínico con énfasis en procesos cognitivo-verbales, desde modelos terapéuticos no mediacionales.
This paper presents a case study following the analytical formulation and behavioral components and principies of the behavioral intervention posed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, which takes up the importance of verbal and their characteristics when formulating and in-tervening on cases such as the one of a young man who goes to psychological consultation with a diagnosis of depressive disorder and anxiety for déficits in social skills, as in this particular case. The results indícate the usefulness of the therapeutic strategies employed, particularly in the component of commitment and self-control that the consultant developed. The relevance of addressing the case with an emphasis on cognitive processes like verbal processes is discussed, from the use of non mediational therapeutic models.
