- Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop the Serbian version of the Metacognitions Questionnaire for Children (MCQ-C). Data were collected from a sample of 473 children and adolescents aged 9-18. The participants also completed the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS). Exploratory-confirmatory factor analysis approach resulted in a version of 13 items distributed over three factors. The model was fully invariant for boys vs. girls and children vs. adolescents, but not for clinical vs. non-clinical youth. All correlations between the MCQ-C and anxiety symptoms were in positive direction as predicted (the highest with obsessive-compulsive symptoms), but not all correlations were clinically relevant, while the magnitude of correlations among non-referred children and adolescents was higher than among those with psychopathology. The Serbian version of the MCQ-C may not be able to distinguish youth with particular internalizing symptoms, but only youth with depression from those with externalizing disorders.
