Abstract :
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire. 300 students (123 male and 177 female) with a mean age of 23.45 (SD = 4.01) were selected randomly. The subjects responded to the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (Broadbent & etal., 1982), Metacognition Questionnaire (Wells & Cartwright-Hatton, 2004) and Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (Barkley, 2011).The results of the explorative factor analyze showed the 4 factors with eigenevalue higher than 1 that were explaining 76.81% of variance together. Indexes of goodness of fitness of confirmatory factor analyzes confirmed fit of this questionnaire. The results of the correlation coefficient showed the significant positive relationship between CFQ with metacognition inefficiency and executive disfunction. Cronbach's alpha coefficients of CFQ subscales and the overall score were obtained in the range of 0.65-0.81.Basing on the study findings, CFQ has good validly and reliability for uses in Iranian populations.
