Fragebogen "Zwangsassoziierte Gedanken und Gefühle"
Short abstract
The ZAGG enables the assessment of metacognitions in obsessive-compulsive disorders. It comprises a total of 41 items, which are divided into three dimensions "thoughts and feelings of worthlessness", "control - responsibility - perfectionism" and "doubt". On the basis of a pilot study and with reference to expert judgments, the dimension and items were formed from ten characteristic topic areas for obsessive-compulsive disorders. Reliability: The internal consistency according to Cronbach of the subscales was between α = .94 and α = .84. The retest reliability after 5 days was rtt = .85 for the first subscale, rtt = .75 for the second, and rtt = .72 for the third subscale. Validity: The convergent validity was examined by correlation with the Y-BOCS and the IBRO. The questionnaire correlates with the Y-BOCS and the IBRO especially in the doubt subscale. Discriminant validity was examined with the BAI and the BDI for je anxiety and depressiveness. The subscale on worthlessness correlated with the BAI and the BDI, indicating a low discriminant validity of this subscale.
