Psychometric evaluation of measures reveals strong reliability in assessing interpretation bias for acrophobia.
Key Points
All measures demonstrated good convergent validity and weak associations with non-acrophobia-related questionnaires, indicating divergent validity.
The sample included 286 participants with mild to severe acrophobia, supporting the robustness of the findings.
Regression analyses revealed that the Scrambled Sentences Task and Heights Interpretation Questionnaire were the strongest predictors of acrophobic symptoms.
Findings suggest these measures could be valuable in randomized controlled trials for targeted interventions in acrophobia treatment.
