Resumen

Este estudio validó el Cuestionario Epistémico de Confianza, Desconfianza y Credulidad (ETMCQ-R) revisado, encontrando sus factores correlacionados con la psicopatología. La desconfianza y la credulidad median parcialmente la adversidad de la infancia

Área de la Ciencia:

Psicología
La psiquiatría
Investigación de la salud mental

Sus antecedentes:

Las interrupciones epistémicas de la confianza se teorizan en psicopatología.
El Cuestionario Epistémico de Confianza, Desconfianza y Credulidad (ETMCQ) existente necesitaba refinamiento.
La validación empírica del papel de la confianza epistémica en la psicopatología es necesaria.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para probar un cuestionario revisado de confianza, desconfianza y credibilidad epistémica (ETMCQ-R).
Examinar las asociaciones entre el ETMCQ-R y varias construcciones psicológicas, incluidos los síntomas de salud mental, el vicio epistémico, la resiliencia, el apoyo social, el apego y la adversidad infantil.
Investigar la postura epistémica como un mediador entre la adversidad y la psicopatología.

Principales métodos:

Diseño de una encuesta en línea con 525 participantes.
Análisis exploratorios y de confirmación de factores para evaluar la estructura del ETMCQ-R.
Análisis de correlación y de mediación para evaluar la validez de la medida.

Principales resultados:

El ETMCQ-R demostró un ajuste superior al modelo y una estructura robusta de tres factores (Confianza, desconfianza, credulidad).
La confianza se correlacionó negativamente con la severidad de la psicopatología y las características límite.
La desconfianza y la credulidad se correlacionaron positivamente con la psicopatología y las características limítrofes, y mediaron parcialmente el vínculo entre la adversidad infantil y la psicopatología.

Conclusiones:

El ETMCQ-R exhibe fuertes propiedades psicométricas.
Sus tres factores (confianza, desconfianza, credulidad) están asociados diferencialmente con el funcionamiento socioemocional.
Los hallazgos apoyan el papel de las dimensiones de confianza epistémica en la psicopatología y en la mediación de los efectos adversos.

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Self-Discrepancy Theory

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Confirmation Biases

Confirmation Biases

The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
