Generic group metacognitive therapy for depression in specialized mental health care
These findings suggest that generic group MCT is well-suited for specialist mental health care services aiming to treat depression cost-effectively
Do dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs contribute to interpersonal distress beyond interpersonal styles, parental bonds, depression and anxiety? A prospective within-person study
These findings suggest that targeting metacognitions could be relevant to alleviate interpersonal distress, potentially independent of parental bonds, interpersonal style configuration and within-person fluctuations in emotional disorder symptoms
Generalized Anxiety Disorder Symptoms in Adolescents
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) typically develops during adolescence and is one of the most prevalent disorders in youths. However, the remission rates associated with treatments indicate substantial room for improvement. An important next step is to more precisely identify modifiable maintenance factors that can be targeted in treatment. Drawing on research in adults, two theoretical models have gained prominence in informing the conceptuali…
Psychometric properties of the Metacognitions Questionnaire–30 in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder
The MCQ-30 demonstrates promising validity in assessing generic metacognitive beliefs among PTSD patients, suggesting its utility in both clinical practice and research contexts. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Psychometric Properties of the Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30) in Older Norwegian Adolescents
Dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs have been established as a transdiagnostic correlate of anxiety and depression in adults and are considered a central mechanism of persistent emotional distress according to the metacognitive model of psychological disorders. However, the importance of metacognitions for distress and emotional disorder in adolescence is far less researched, and to investigate this further there is a need for reliable and valid …
Is mental regulation related to self-esteem? Testing a basic metacognitive model
Individual differences in global self-esteem are associated with general psychological functioning and well-being, and lower self-esteem could be a target for prevention and treatment interventions. Traditionally, self-esteem is assumed to be influenced by the content of self-beliefs, but the metacognitive model of psychological disorders presents an alternative. It emphasizes mental regulation over the content in self-beliefs and suggests a role…
Metacognitive strategies mediate the association between metacognitive beliefs and perceived quality of life
Quality of life may be understood as a multidimensional evaluation of life circumstances in relation to values, expectations, and perceived well‐being. Quality of life is thus dependent on the subjective perception of the current life situation, not only objective circumstances. According to metacognitive theory, metacognition guides the appraisal of inner experiences (i.e., thoughts and feelings) and influences how one relates to external stress…
Testing the longitudinal effect of metacognitive beliefs on the trajectory of work ability
There is increasing need to identify factors that contribute to poor work ability with an aim to prevent work related problems such as sick leave and disability pension. In the Metacognitive Control System model, dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs are seen as an underlying factor in psychological vulnerability beyond disorder, and recent studies have reported that metacognitions are associated with work ability and work status. In the present st…
Metacognitive beliefs predict interpersonal problems in patients with social anxiety disorder
Patients with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) typically report interpersonal problems, and these are important targets in treatment beyond social anxiety symptoms as they impair quality of life, maintain emotion symptoms and effect on social functioning. What factors contribute to interpersonal problems? In the current study we set out to explore the role of metacognitive beliefs as correlates of interpersonal problems in patients treated for SAD w…
An empirical test of the metacognitive model of generalized anxiety disorder
The metacognitive model of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) places worrying, meta‐worry (“worry about worry”) and corresponding underlying metacognitive beliefs (i.e., beliefs about worry) as central in the maintenance of symptoms. Previous research has demonstrated significant relationships between these factors and symptoms, but no study has tested the statistical fit of this influential model including its hypothesized components and the sug…
The network structure of dysfunctional metacognition
The Metacognitive Control System (MCS) model gives central importance to maladaptive metacognition in psychological vulnerability and disorder. The metacognitions questionnaire 30 (MCQ-30) is widely used to assess such metacognitions and to establish their effects. Previous studies consistently demonstrate that the MCQ-30 consists of five latent factors, with some factors showing wide-ranging positive associations with symptoms and some demonstra…
