摘要

Objective The Cognitive Failures Questionnaire 2.0 (CFQ 2.0) incorporates digitally contextualized items and reinforces a unidimensional structure, with improved associations with objective attentional control. The present study aimed to adapt and examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version in a middle-aged population. Methods The Chinese version was developed using a forward–backward translation procedure. Sample 1 (n = 226) was used for item analysis and exploratory factor analysis, Sample 2 (n = 515) for confirmatory factor analysis, and Sample 3 (n = 39) for test–retest reliability. Results The final scale retained 13 items and supported a unidimensional structure. Model fit indices were acceptable (CFI = 0.907, TLI = 0.889, RMSEA = 0.060, SRMR = 0.049). The scale showed good internal consistency (α = 0.896) and test–retest reliability (r = 0.916). Correlation analyses showed expected associations with attentional control, everyday memory functioning, and affective variables, supporting its criterion-related validity. Conclusion The Chinese CFQ 2.0 shows satisfactory psychometric properties and may serve as a brief tool for assessing everyday cognitive failures in middle-aged adults.
