Abstract
BACKGROUND. The Test of anticipatory consistency was developed by V.D. Mendelevich based on the anticipatory concept of neurosogenesis. The technique has been used in numerous studies and has proven itself as a diagnostic tool. At the same time, the substantial volume of questions makes the current version time-consuming for the subjects.
 AIM. The purpose of this work was to create a short version suitable for screening studies of anticipation consistency.
 MATERIAL AND METHODS. The study involved 315 students and 96 patients treated in the departments of the Republican Clinical Psychiatric Hospital of academician V.M. Bekhterev and Central Clinical Hospital No. 18 with established diagnoses of the heading Neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disordersof the International Classification of Diseases of the 10th revision. The development of the test included three stages: the study of the psychometric indicators of the original test, the development of the stimulus material of the short version, the study of the reliability and validity of the short version. To assess convergent validity, adapted Russian-language versions of the questionnaires Methods of coping behaviorby R. Lazarus and Melbourne Decision-making Questionnairewere used.
 RESULTS. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a sufficient level of agreement of compliance with the three-factor structure of the test: CFI=0.909; TLI=0.894; SRMR=0.0672; RMSEA=0.05 (CI 90% 0.03380.0648). The short version of the test has sufficient reliability: Kronbach =0.727, McDonald =0.742, the scales correlate with each other, individual statements correlate with their scales. The short version of the test correlates with the results of the original methodology, and retest reliability, criterion and convergent validity are confirmed.
 CONCLUSION. A short version is possible for use in screening studies of anticipation viability.
