This study introduces a questionnaire for self-reported cognitive failures, including perception, memory, and motor function. Findings suggest cognitive failure may increase vulnerability to stress effects.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Self-reported cognitive failures are common but require reliable measurement.
  • Existing measures may be influenced by social desirability or neuroticism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a new questionnaire for assessing self-reported failures in perception, memory, and motor function.
  • To evaluate the psychometric properties and external validity of this new measure.

Main Methods:

  • Development and validation of a novel questionnaire.
  • Correlational analyses with existing measures of cognitive deficit, social desirability, neuroticism, and spouse ratings.
  • Longitudinal stability assessment and examination of its relationship with life stress and psychiatric symptoms.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The questionnaire demonstrated good internal consistency and correlated with other measures of cognitive deficit.
  • It showed weak correlations with social desirability and neuroticism, but significant correlation with spouse ratings, indicating external validity.
  • Scores were stable over time and not significantly altered by life stress.
  • The questionnaire correlated with psychiatric symptoms and predicted subsequent symptoms in stressful job environments.

Conclusions:

  • The new questionnaire is a reliable and valid measure of self-reported cognitive failures.
  • Cognitive failures appear to predispose individuals to the adverse effects of stress, rather than being a direct result of stress.
