Examining the validity and measurement invariance across gender and race of the Implicit Thoughts, Emotion, and Behavior Questionnaire.

Implicit theory has been relatively well-studied in the areas of intelligence and personality but remains less investigated in mental health. This article aims to analyze the psychometric properties of the Implicit Thoughts, Emotion, and Behavior Questionnaire (ITEB-Q; Schleider & Weisz, 2016a). We tested its factorial validity, measurement invariance across gender and two racial groups, as well as criterion validity in a large, diverse sample of adolescents.
