چکیده انگلیسی


- We studied the psychometric properties of the Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory.
- Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory is psychometrically sound for treatment-seeking Veterans.
- However, in contrast to the 3-factor original model, a 4-factor model provided adequate fit.
- Convergent validity, discriminative validity, and internal reliability were demonstrated.
- Differences between military combat and sexual traumas emerged, but were small.

Trauma-related beliefs have salient relationships to the development and maintenance of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) following stress exposure. The Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory (PTCI) has the potential to be a standard assessment of this critical construct. However, some critical aspects of validity and reliability appear to vary by population. To date, the PTCI has not been psychometrically evaluated for use with military-specific traumas such as combat and military sexual trauma (MST). Based on exploratory and confirmatory analyses with 949 Veterans seeking trauma-focused treatment for military traumas, we found a four factor model (negative view of the self, negative view of the world, self-blame, and negative beliefs about coping competence) provided the best fit. In contrast, the original three factor model was not confirmed. Both models demonstrated convergent and discriminative validity. Although gender was associated with PTCI total and factor scores, differences did not persist after controlling for trauma type. MST was associated with higher PTCI scores even when controlling for gender, though the clinical magnitude of these differences is likely negligible. Internal reliability validity was demonstrated with PTCI total and subscale scores.
