The results will be more robust and reliable if the Total Individual Scale is used and not subscales.

Content validity was assessed by five members of the Psychological Medicine Unit at the Royal Marsden Hospital who were familiar with the nature of APT. “They were asked to judge the degree to which the behaviours described in the CCQ (1) would change as a result of APT on a scale from +2 (maximum increase) to 2 (maximum decrease). Mean ratings for adaptive coping strategies was +1.27 and for maladaptive coping strategies -1.05 (p.333).” Ambiguous questions were reviewed with 5 raters and four items were excluded from the questionnaire. Wording of the questions and response format were addressed and five questions were added after this meeting. The article states that “although the wording of the questions changed with the development of the CCQ, the skills addressed remained the same as in this original version. It was therefore not necessary to repeat this assessment of content validity in the second version of CCQ." (Moorey et al., 2003; p. 333)
"In the development of the questionnaire attention has been paid to the face validity of the instrument (through modifying it in response to reactions from therapists familiar with the therapy). The longer 41 item questionnaire has been reduced to 21 items on the basis of factor analysis. It is a brief and ‘user friendly’ instrument which can be completed by any patients with cancer, but which includes items specific to Adjuvant Psychological Therapy” (Moorey et al., 2003; p. 339)
