AbstractPersonality Belief Questionnaire is an instrument based on cognitive behavioral theory, focused on core beliefs associated with personality disorders. This paper reflects a preliminary psychometric study of the (European) Portuguese version of the Personality Belief Questionnaire-Short Form (PBQ-SF-PT) in a non-clinical sample. In a cross-sectional design 344 individuals (M age  = 32.56, SD = 11.28) were assessed with self-report instruments.

Accordingly, this study was aimed to compare the differences between individuals diagnosed with depression and control groups and different attachment styles groups (secure, preoccupied, fearful, and dismissive) in terms of the ruminative resp...

Internet Addiction in Adolescents: A Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavior Therapy Perspective
AbstractInternet addiction has gained increased scientific attention during the last decades. However, theoretical models explaining mechanisms underlying Internet addiction are scarce, impeding further development of prevention and treatment approaches. In the present study, we applied the principles of Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (RE&CBT) to gain insight into relevant predictors of Internet addiction. We hypothesized that irrational beliefs are positively, and rational beliefs negatively related to Internet addiction, and that these relationships are mediated by psychopathological tendencies. A sa...

Irrational Beliefs as a Cognitive Mechanism Explaining the Link Between Pathogen Prevalence and Individualism-Collectivism
AbstractPrevious studies established a relationship between the historical prevalence of pathogens and the individualism-collectivism cultural dimension. In this article, we argue that this relation can be mediated by distorted information processes derived from the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) model (i.e., irrational beliefs in the form of rigid/absolutistic/inflexible thinking). We hypothesize that populations living in dangerous environments, expressed through the historical prevalence of pathogens, have developed a psychological tendency towards rigid information processing strategies, which have in turn co...
