Normative Data on Measures of Cognitions Relevant to CT of Depression

There are a number of measures of cognitions related to depression that can be useful both in therapy and in research. However, the usefulness of these measures has been limited because we haven't had good norms on these measures. As a result, it is hard to interpret an individual's score or to tell if a change is clinically significant or not. Dozois, Covin and Brinker (2003) have tried to remedy this situation by assembling the available normative data on the Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire - Negative, Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire - Positive, Beck Hopelessness Questionnaire, Cognitive Bias Questionnaire, Cognitive Error Questionnaire, and Dysfunctional Attitude Scale. The article provides norms on each of these measures and discusses how the norms can be used in clinical practice.
