Reliability and Validity of an Attentional Control Questionnaire

Abstract

Attention plays a critical role by allowing necessary information to enter the information processing system and to be used in guiding future actions. An ability to control attention effectively is essential for reducing errors in various cognitive tasks. Derryberry and Reed (2002) devised a twenty-item Attentional Control Questionnaire (ACQ) measuring attentional focusing and shifting. The purpose of this study is to translate the ACQ into Korean and to examine the reliability and validity of the translated questionnaire. Total 523 college students (male: 277, female: 244) in Seoul participated. The reliability of ACQ was .840, and the item-total correlations ranged from .305 to .590. Factor analysis of the test items revealed that the two subscales were discriminated cleary. To test the validity of the ACQ, we examined correlations between the ACQ and various psychological constructs including impulsivity, cognitive failure, anxiety and mood repair. The range of correlations were consistent with previous studies examining similar variables. Considering the level of reliability and validity of the ACQ, it will provide a useful tool for brain imaging studies and diagnosis and treatment of attention related mental diorders.
