In order to overcome some measurement problems and to create a robust and conceptually useful two-factor scale the CFCS-12 was recently modified to include two new items and to become the CFCS-14. Using a University sample, we tested four competing models for the CFCS-14: (a) a 12-item unidimensional model, (b) a model fitted for two uncorrelated factors (CFC-Immediate and CFC-Future), (c) a model fitted for two correlated factors (CFC-I and CFC-F), and (d) a bifactor model. Results suggested that the addition of the two new items has strengthened the viability of a two factor solution of the CFCS-14. Results of linear regression models suggest that the CFC-F factor is redundant. Further studies using alcohol and mental health indicators are required to test this redundancy.enghttps://ac.els-cdn.com/S0191886916302501/1-s2.0-S0191886916302501-main.pdf?_tid=d70a9563-c191-4803-85e9-10cc59e1b9c2&acdnat=1540902317_6335069e985e69cb57cc578e2bConsideration of future consequences scaleExploratory structural equation modelingBifactor solutionArticle10.1016/j.paid.2016.03.097
