Abstract (English):	Cognitive fusion refers to the process of considering one's own thoughts as literally and objectively true, and it is one of the six processes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In a context of fusion, thoughts have a preponderant role in behavioural regulation instead of other sources of regulation (i.e. direct consequences of behaviour). The aim of this study is the validation of the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ) in the Italian context. The CFQ is a 7 item self-report questionnaire measuring the above-mentioned processes. Three hundred and seventy-seven participants completed the CFQ and other self-report measures that assess psychological flexibility (AAQ-II), mindfulness skills (MAAS), and symptoms related to mental distress (SCL-90; DASS-21). The CFQ shows a monofactorial structure, assessed both with Exploratory Factor Analysis and with Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The psychometric properties of the CFQ indicate excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alfa = 0.82), and excellent convergent validity with psychological flexibility (AAQ-II). Furthermore, the CFQ discriminates about 85% of the participants as having a probable discomfort (GSI > 1), showing excellent levels of sensitivity and specificity. Considering its features and psychometric properties, I-CFQ can be easily used both in research and in clinical practice, in the context of behavioural sciences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Italian):	Uno dei processi fondamentali dell'Acceptance and Commitment Therapy è la fusione cognitiva che consiste nel considerare i propri pensieri come letteralmente e oggettivamente veri. In un contesto di fusione, i pensieri tendono ad assumere un ruolo predominante nella regolazione comportamentale, a discapito di altre fonti di regolazione come le conseguenze dirette del comportamento. L'obiettivo di questo studio è l'adattamento nel contesto italiano del Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (I-CFQ), un questionario autosomministrato di 7 item. Trecentosettantasette partecipanti, appartenenti a una popolazione non clinica, hanno compilato il CFQ e altri strumenti self-report che indagano la flessibilità psicologica (AAQ-II), le abilità di mindfulness (MAAS) e la presenza e la gravità di sintomi di disagio psichico (SCL-90 e DASS-21). L'I-CFQ mostra una struttura monofattoriale riscontrata sia tramite l'analisi fattoriale esplorativa che attraverso l'analisi fattoriale confermativa. La coerenza interna del I-CFQ è ottima (alfa di Cronbach = 0,82) e si è rilevata un'ottima validità convergente con la flessibilità psicologica (AAQ-II). Inoltre, l'I-CFQ discrimina circa l'85% dei partecipanti con un probabile disagio psichico (GSI > 1) mostrando ottimi livelli di sensibilità e specificità. La brevità dello strumento, la facilità di scoring e le buone proprietà psicometriche rendono l'I-CFQ un ottimo strumento da utilizzarsi nell'ambito delle scienze contestuali del comportamento.
