While observer-coded assessment of ambivalence and readiness for change is resource-intensive, the present study investigates the use of more efficient self-report measures to predict treatment outcomes. Participants (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 85) with GAD received CBT or MI-CBT and completed self-report measures of readiness for change (Change Questionnaire, Miller &amp; Johnson, 2008) and ambivalence (Treatment Ambivalence Questionnaire, Purdon, Rowa, Gifford, McCabe, &amp; Antony, 2012). Greater self-reported baseline readiness for change was associated with lower posttreatment worry and symptom severity and faster reduction in worry. Self-reported ambivalence was not associated with outcomes. Patients with less concern about adverse consequences of treatment who received CBT experienced greater increases in readiness for change than those receiving MI-CBT. We discuss implications for using these measures in clinical settings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1891\/0889-8391.33.4.301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,30]],"date-time":"2019-09-30T21:35:32Z","timestamp":1569879332000},"page":"301-319","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Can Self-Report Measures of Readiness for Change and Treatment Ambivalence Predict Outcomes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder?"],"prefix":"10.1891","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6322-498X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ariella P.","family":"Lenton-Brym","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathleen E.","family":"Stewart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alice E.","family":"Coyne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Henny A.","family":"Westra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Constantino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin M.","family":"Antony","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"793","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019093018340500000_33.4.301.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.71.5.862"},{"key":"2019093018340500000_33.4.301.2","unstructured":"Antony, M.
