Internal consistency was measured by Cronbach\u2019s alpha reliability coefficients. Factor structure was assessed using a confirmatory factor analysis on the non-clinical group and a multi-trait\u2013multi-method analysis on the psychiatric group. Criterion validity was explored by comparing the scores of the two samples. Measures of rumination, worry and depression were used to explore convergent validity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1352465820000065_as4\" sec-type=\"other\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Confirmatory factor analysis in the non-clinical sample indicated that the French version of the MCQ-30 has the same factor structure as the MCQ-30\u2019s original five-factor solution. In the clinical sample, the multi-trait\u2013multi-method analysis revealed discrepancies with the original factor structure, and the MCQ-30 and its subscales were less reliable. Our results provide evidence of a convergent validity. The MCQ-30 scores were also able to discriminate between psychiatric and non-clinical samples.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1352465820000065_as5\" sec-type=\"other\"><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results show that the French version of the MCQ-30 is a valid instrument for measuring metacognitive beliefs in non-clinical population.
