TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Beck's cognitive triad: One versus three factors JO - Canadian journal of behavioural science A1 - McIntosh, Cameron N. A1 - Fischer, Donald G. SP - 153 EP - 157 VL - 32 IS - 3 N2 - Examined the factorial validity of the cognitive triad (view of self, world, and future) hypothesized by A. T. Beck (1987) to be a key depression-related variable. A nonclinical sample of 641 university undergraduates completed the Cognitive Triad Inventory (CTI). Although an initial confirmatory factor analysis failed to support a 3-factor model for the CTI drawn from Beck's paradigm, a principal components analysis yielded a single factor which was labeled, "Self-Relevant Negative Attitude." Additional analyses confirmed the viability of the 1-factor solution and showed that the CTI was still a reliable scale with 12 as opposed to the original 30 items.
