The metacognitive model of GAD places negative metacognitive beliefs and metaworry
as central in the development and maintenance of disorder. The present study
examined the psychometric properties of the Meta-worry Questionnaire (MWQ) and
used it to test hypotheses derived from the metacognitive model in the context of
DSM-IV GAD. The MWQ was found to possess very good internal reliability, and
both frequency and belief scales were found to consist of single factors. The scales
correlated meaningfully with existing measures of worry and metacognition. Consistent
with hypotheses individuals meeting criteria for GAD showed significantly higher
meta-worry frequency scores than individuals classified as somatic anxiety or no anxiety.
Meta-worry belief distinguished the GAD group from the non-anxious group but
not the somatic anxiety group. These effects remained when Type 1 worry (social and
health worry) was controlled. The results provide further support for the metacognitive
model. Relationship between meta-worry frequency, belief, and GAD status was
explored using path analysis. The relationship between meta-worry belief and GAD
classification was dependent on meta-worry frequency.

Empirical Support for the Model
Research on non-patient worriers and on individuals meeting criteria for DSMIII-
R GAD provides data that are consistent with the model. Individuals meeting
criteria for GAD report positive reasons for worrying (Borkovec & Roemer, 1995),
