Background:There is no published evidence about the psychometric properties of the Cognitive Behavioral Avoidance Scale (CBAS) in Eastern cultures.Aims:The current research evaluated the psychometric properties of a Persian version of the CBAS.Method:The research consisted of two studies. In Study 1, a university student sample (n = 702) completed the CBAS, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Thought Control Questionnaire and the Anxious Thoughts Inventory. In Study 2, a general population sample (n = 384) and a clinical sample (n = 152) completed the CBAS, the Young Compensation Inventory and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21.Results:Exploratory factor analysis of the data from Study 1 suggested a four-factor solution for CBAS. The CBAS had acceptable internal consistency and test–re-test reliability, and showed significant correlations with depression symptoms and anxious thoughts. Confirmatory factor analysis of the data from Study 2 indicated good fit between the four-factor model and data. The CBAS had a significant relationship with depression, anxiety and stress symptoms, but no associations with schema compensatory behaviour strategy. Finally, the CBAS and its subscales successfully distinguished a clinical sample from a general population sample.Conclusions:The findings provide preliminary evidence for reliability and validity of the CBAS among Iranian student, general population and clinical samples.

波斯版认知行为回避量表的心理测量特性：来自伊朗学生、普通人群和临床样本的结果

背景：没有关于东方文化中认知行为回避量表 (CBAS) 的心理测量学特性的公开证据。目的：目前的研究评估了波斯语版本的 CBAS 的心理测量学特性。方法：该研究由两项研究组成。在研究 1 中，一个大学生样本 (n= 702) 完成了 CBAS、贝克抑郁量表-II、思维控制问卷和焦虑思维量表。在研究 2 中，一般人群样本 (n= 384) 和临床样本 (n= 152) 完成了 CBAS、青年补偿量表和抑郁、焦虑、压力量表 21。结果：对研究 1 数据的探索性因素分析提出了 CBAS 的四因素解决方案。CBAS 具有可接受的内部一致性和重测信度，并显示出与抑郁症状和焦虑想法的显着相关性。研究 2 数据的验证性因子分析表明四因子模型和数据之间的拟合良好。CBAS与抑郁、焦虑和压力症状有显着关系，但与图式补偿行为策略无关。最后，CBAS 及其分量表成功地将临床样本与一般人群样本区分开来。结论：
