The Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ) was developed to measure excessive attachment to the literal content of human thought that makes healthy psychological flexibility difficult or impossible. In this study our aim was to examine the psychometric properties of a Korean version of the CFQ (K-CFQ). Our participants were 410 students (n = 209 for sample 1, n = 201 for sample 2) at a university located in Daejeon, South Korea. Exploratory factor analysis provided support for the same unifactor structure for the measure that had been validated for the original CFQ. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated the adequacy of the unifactor structure of the K-CFQ. The K-CFQ was significantly negatively correlated with psychological flexibility, mindfulness, and quality of life among our participant group and significantly positively correlated with anxiety and depression. Our results supported the reliability and construct and criterion validity of the K-CFQ for assessing cognitive fusion in a Korean college sample.
