Măsurarea convingerilor iraţionale cu ajutorul Idea Inventory: o posibilă revizuire
Measuring irrational beliefs with The Idea Inventory: a proposed revision

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the measurement properties of the Idea Inventory (Kassinove et al, 1993) which was designed to asses 11 types of irrational beliefs described by Ellis. The original 11 subscales were found to lack internal consistency although the full 33 items showed a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0, 84. We therefore developed a new set of subscales based on the latent structure of the items and the content of the items. The outcome was a relatively reliable set of five subscales that were also consistent with the original ideas of Ellis. However, there seems to be a need for further revision since many of the items seems to measure emotional reactions to irrational beliefs rather than to the irrational beliefs themselves.
