Introductoin: The purpose of this study is to examine the factor structure and the validity of the Metacognitions about Desire Thinking Questionnaire (MDTQ) through the Persian translated version, which involves 18 adopted with Iranian cultural context.
Method: The present study was descriptive-applied and psychometric. After translation and confirmation of the content validity by experts, a population of 510 students of universities was selected through the academic year of 2020 in Mashhad deploying multi-stage cluster random sampling to conduct the tests. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate the construct validity. The metacognitive beliefs questionnaire (MCQ) was also used to evaluate the validity of the criterion of simultaneous type.
Results: The exploratory factor analysis identified three factors that were all consistent with the results of previously conducted studies, and these three factors together explained 51.43% of the total variance. The results obtained from the confirmatory factor analysis supported the proposed model. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the Metacognitions about Desire Thinking Questionnaire (MDTQ) and its factors was obtained from 0.78 to 0.83. In the split-half method, Spearman-Brown and Guttman correlation coefficients were 0.90 and 0.89, respectively. Through the criterion validity examination of the Metacognitions about Desire Thinking Questionnaire (MDTQ), the Persian version showed a positive and significant relationship with the Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ).
Discussion and Conclusion: Finally, it was concluded that the Persian version of MDTQ can be considered as acceptable psychometric properties to measure metacognitions about the desire thinking in Iranian samples.
