Employment Commitment. The Employment Commitment Measure (ECM; Larson et al., 2011), developed for persons with mental illness, assesses attitudes towards factors that impact employment status. The 11-item ECM is bifactorial, including incentives and barriers to work domains. Because CBT focuses on changing maladaptive thoughts and attitudes, it is plausible that the intervention may positively impact perceptions of incentives and barriers to work, leading to more favorable employment outcomes. ECM items are answered on a 1 to 7 Likert scale indicating the degree to which one agrees with an employment factor (1-highly disagree, 4-unsure, to 7-highly agree); e.g., "Having a job will reduce my depression." Previous studies have found that the ECM has strong criterion related validity (e.g., Larson et al., 2011).
