Online version of the Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ), a self-report measure assessing beliefs about thinking processes, particularly those related to worry. The questionnaire captures key dimensions of metacognition, including positive beliefs about worry, beliefs about its uncontrollability and danger, cognitive confidence, the need to control thoughts, and cognitive self-consciousness, reflecting how individuals monitor and regulate their own thinking.
Most contemporary research and clinical applications rely on the shorter MCQ-30.
Also available is the original 65-item MCQ, from which the MCQ-30 was derived.
