本研究以合理情绪疗法(RET) 中所概括的非理性信念为基础，编选了反映中国人特点的非理性信念项目 32条，组成了信念量表(CBI)。施测于272名大学生。一阶因素分析产生 了九个相关因子,二阶因素分析产生了三个相关因子，三阶因素分析提取了一个非理性信念总因子。根据二阶因素分析结果，把CBI 分为三个分量表,即专断倾向(D量表)、自控倾向(C量表)和挫折倾向(F量表)。Ellis所总结的11条非理性信念大部分得到反映(第3.7.10条除外)。量表的同质性信度为0.763，分半信度为0.755，两周再测信度为0.88。因素分析和相关研究证实了该量表的构想效度。研究还提供了量表在大学生样本中的常模数据。

The purpose of the study Was to develop Chinese Belief Inventory(CBI) for assessment, treatment p1anning and evaluation of clients by counselors. This inventory was composed of 32 items, reflecting Chinese irrational beliefs, based on the irrational beliefs defined by Rational Emotive Therapy(RET). Subjects were 272 undergraduate students. The frist factor analyses produced nine factors,the ｓecond factor analyses produced three factors, and the third factor analyses produced one factor: irrational belief. According to the three secondary factorｓ, CBI was divided to three subscales:Dictatorial demands(D),Se1f-control tendency(C) and frustration tendency(F). This test reflected most of the 11 irrational beliefs specified by Ellis( except the 3rd, 7th, 10th).Results indicated that the CBI had satisfactory total and scale internal consistency, 2- week test-retest reliability, split reliability and construct validity.The normative data for undergraduate students were also presented.
