Spanish version of the Inferential Confusion Questionnaire expanded version: further support for the role of inferential confusion in obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Clin Psychol Psychother. 2020 Feb 15;: Authors: Llorens-Aguilar S, García-Soriano G, Roncero M, Barrada JR, Aardema F, O Connor K Abstract The purposes of this research were: (1) to analyse the psychometric properties of the Inferential Confusion Questionnaire-Expanded Version (ICQ-EV) in a Spanish population; (2) to explore the role of inferential confusion in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); and (3) to compare the inferential confusion construct in non-clinical and clinical samples. A sample of 342 non-clinical participants and 66 patients with OCD completed the ICQ-EV Spanish adaptation as well as a set of questionnaires. Results confirmed a good fit of the ICQ-EV Spanish version to the original unifactorial structure and excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Moreover, results confirmed that the ICQ-EV predicts Obsessing, Checking, Washing, and Hoarding symptoms, independently of the contribution of dysfunctional beliefs. In addition, OCD patients scored significantly higher on the ICQ-EV than non-clinical participants. The Spanish version of the ICQ-EV is a reliable instrument to assess inferential confusion, and further support is provided for the relevance of the inferential confusion construct in OCD.
