Cover Story: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a Japanese version of the Tinnitus Acceptance Questionnaire (TAQ), a scale that measures tinnitus-specific acceptance. A total of 125 chronic tinnitus patients from multiple institutions participated in this study and answered the TAQ, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, Valuing Questionnaire, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a two-factor structure divided into forward and reverse item groups. This was thought to be due to artifacts caused by the characteristics of the Japanese language. The hypotheses regarding criterion and construct validity were supported, and the validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the TAQ were confirmed. View this paper.
