It is a higher-order thinking structure, which includes knowledge and a person’s self-awareness of his/her cognitive functions and facts controlled by his/her metacognitive abilities. The present study aimed to examine psychometric properties of the Metacognition Questionnaire (MCQ; Chohan & Kausar, 2015; Urdu version), to validate MCQ with Pakistani population by employing Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA). Well-being Scale (Bradley, 1996) and Anxious Thoughts Inventory (Wells, 1994) were used to examine divergent and convergent validity of MCQ respectively. The sample consisted of 503 undergraduate and post-graduate students recruited from different public and private Universities located in Lahore. They ranged in ages from 18 40 years (M= 22.7, SD= 2.9). Factor structure emerged after CFA of MCQ-30 Urdu version was comparable with that of English version of MCQ-30 and the scale showed good internal consistency (ranging from .68 -.75). Convergent and Divergent validity as also examined using Pearson Correlation analysis. The results suggest that MCQ-30 Urdu version is a reliable and valid measure for use with the Pakistani population.
