BAI = Beck Anxiety Inventory; BDI-II = Beck Depression Inventory – II; DAS = Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale Form A.
Significant at p<0.05 after applying the False Discovery Rate.
Emotional reasoning scores were calculated by subtracting ratings for situations without a negative emotional response from ratings for situations with a negative emotional response.
The dysfunctional attitudes scale – form A (DAS-A) was not administered at the follow-up assessment. Negative correlations indicate a positive association between dysfunctional attitudes and emotional reasoning scores.
