Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review the scales for measuring rational beliefs and irrational beliefs based on Ellis' REBT theory, and to discuss the characteristics of each scale. To this end, tools from BITI, GABS, ABS-2 IPBI and IBT are outlined. The results of the study are as follows. First, many tools for measuring beliefs based on the REBT theory are tools for measuring only irrational beliefs. Second, a standardized tool that measures both rational and irrational beliefs based on the REBT theory and can be applied domestically is needed. This study is considered to be meaningful in contributing to the development of future research and the use of appropriate tools used in cognitive behavioral therapy and the development of measurement tools that can be applied in domestic cognitive behavioral therapy clinical practice. Therefore, while looking at Ellis' rational and irrational beliefs in an integrated way in the educational and clinical settings through standardized measurement tools, follow-up studies on measurement tools that can be appropriately utilized according to the domestic culture and situation are expected to continue.
