Abstract

Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) was developed as a measure of everyday cognitive errors by Broadbent, Cooper, Fitzgerald, and Parkes (1982). Concerning the factor structure of this questionnaire, there have been various models suggested, including a 4-factor model which was suggested by Wallace, Kass, and Stanny (2002) and was validated by Wallace (2004). This study was performed to make Korean version of CFQ and to evaluate its factor structure and validity. With 293 college students, scores of cognitive failures, everyday attention, everyday memory, and five factor scales of personality, and their levels of academic achievement were surveyed. Factor analysis of CFQ suggested 5 factors, whose fit indices were assessed positively by confirmatory factor analysis. Correlation analysis showed that cognitive failures correlated highly with everyday attention and memory, but not with academic achievement level. As expected, cognitive failures had positive correlation with neuroticism and negative correlation with conscientiousness. In conclusion, Korean version of CFQ was judged to have a lot of validity, but it revealed somewhat different factor structure from the English one suggested by Wallace. Limitations of CFQ and directions of future studies were discussed.
