  • Background: Although negative beliefs have been found to be associated with worry symptoms and depressive rumination, negative beliefs have yet to be examined in relation to post-event processing and social anxiety symptoms. Aims: The purpose of the current study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Negative Beliefs about Post-Event Processing Questionnaire (NB-PEPQ). Method: A large, non-referred undergraduate sample completed the NB-PEPQ along with validation measures, including a measure of post-event processing and social anxiety symptoms. Results: Based on factor analysis, a single-factor model was obtained, and the NB-PEPQ was found to exhibit good validity, including positive associations with measures of post-event processing and social anxiety symptoms. Conclusions: These findings add to the literature on the metacognitive variables that may lead to the development and maintenance of post-event processing and social anxiety symptoms, and have relevant clinical applications.

  • Summary

    The chapter focuses on the metacognitive model of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and describes the structure, choice, and implementation of treatment strategies in metacognitive therapy (MCT). Difficult to control worry is the central feature of GAD. Worry is a predominantly verbal conceptual process involving chains of negative thoughts. The majority of psychotherapy outcome research conducted on GAD has focused on interventions that fall under the rubric of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). A considerable number of meta-analytic reviews and over 30 clinical trials have resulted in clinical guidelines recommending CBT as a first line treatment for GAD. Adrian Wells advanced a metacognitive model and treatment of GAD with the aim of improving therapeutic outcomes. Metacognitive therapy aims to modify negative beliefs about the uncontrollability and danger of worrying, and provide the patient with alternative nonconceptually based strategies for reacting to negative thoughts.
