Abstract
An instrument was developed to measure the cognitive triad conceptualized by Beck to be an important variable in depression (Beck, Rush, Shaw, & Emery, 1979). Reliability and validity statistics are reported on an original sample of 26 depressed patients and a replication sample of 28 depressed patients. The scale and its subscales were found to have high internal reliability. Comparison with rater measures and with two self-report measures, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965) and the Hopelessness Scale (Beck, Weissman, Lester, and Traxler, 1974) showed the Cognitive Triad Inventory (CTI) and its subscales to have good convergent validity.
