The Development of a Short Form of an Irrational/Rational Beliefs Scale
This study developed a short form of the Attitudes and Beliefs Scale-2 (ABS-2), a measure of Ellis ’s irrational and rational beliefs. We compared the short form (ABS2-SF) to the longer original scale with 2096 participants, including clinical outpatients, American and Romanian college students, and drug/alcohol rehab residents. The ABS-SF correlated highly with the Original ABS-2. Confirmatory Factor Analyses yielded an excellent fit for an eight-factor bifactor model with factors for the irrational and rational cognitive processes and a general factor. The resulting subscales had excellent internal reliability. The ABS...
