The Development of Irrational Beliefs Scale for Adolescents: Validity and Reliability Studies

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure irrational beliefs of students in early adolescence. The subjects were 694 students who were recruited from elementary schooL. These students were in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. The Irrational Beliefs Scale for Adolescents (IBSA) is composed of 21 items and it has three subscales. For validity, factor analysis, item-test correlations, concurrent validity and discriminant validity; for reliability, Cronbach Alpha and test-retest techniques were used. Findings indicated that the IBSA was a valid and reliable scale.
