Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the components of the rational and irrational belief scale and develop items through theoretical grounds and empirical data on rational and irrational beliefs. For this, domestic and foreign literature and previous studies were reviewed, and counseling experts were interviewed. In the process of content analysis and itemization of the results through literature and interviews, the researcher, one professor majoring in counseling, and one doctoral major in counseling went through several discussions to revise and supplement the items to form items about rational and irrational beliefs. The results of the study are as follows. First, the sub-factors of rational beliefs were 'acceptance', 'endurance for frustration', 'realistic evaluation', and 'absoluteness'. the sub-factors of irrational beliefs were 'justice', 'exaggeration', 'low human value', and 'low tolerance for frustration'. Second, most of the questions extracted through previous research on sub-factors and interviews were divided evenly. This study is meaningful in that it simultaneously reveals the abstract concepts of rational beliefs and irrational beliefs explained in REBT cognitive-emotional-behavioral therapy and items them in a measurable way. By presenting the standards of the belief system, the distorted perception and self-defeating irrational thoughts of the client are minimized in the clinical setting, and the standards for specifying the belief systems that help individuals achieve their goals in life are presented. It has meaning.
