Irrational and rational cognitions/beliefs are evaluative cognitive structures. Irrational thinking has been consistently associated with psychopathology; in contrast, rational thinking is considered important for resiliency. We conducted two studies to construct and validate the Parent Rational and Irrational Beliefs Scale (P-RIBS), a new self-report measure of parent irrational and rational cognitions/beliefs. Results show a three-factor solution for P-RIBS. The P-RIBS displayed strong psychometric, support evidencing adequate internal consistencies and concurrent validity
