Key result
High CFQ scores link to anxiety, partially driven by self-consciousness.
Why the study?
The study aimed to identify personality correlates of cognitive failures and to investigate self-consciousness as a mediator between cognitive failures and stress vulnerability.
Comparison
High versus low cognitive failures and levels of anxiety and self-consciousness
Design

Should not yet inform anxiety evaluation; hypothesis-generating for self-consciousness-targeted interventions in high cognitive failure.
Cross-Sectional (n=160)
High cognitive failure subjects may be vulnerable to stress due to self-attentional processing disrupting coping strategies.
Matthews et al. (1988) conducted a cross-sectional in Cognitive failure (n=160). Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) score was evaluated on Correlation between CFQ score, anxiety, and self-consciousness. High Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) scores are positively associated with anxiety, a relationship that is at least partially mediated by individual differences in self-consciousness.
