TAFS
Thought-Action Fusion Scale (TAFS)
The Thought-Action Fusion Scale (TAFS) is a self-report questionnaire used mainly in clinical psychology to assess an individual's tendency to confuse thoughts and actions. This cognitive bias, often present in obsessive-compulsive disorder, is measured across two dimensions: moral thought-action fusion (thinking about a bad action is as serious as doing it) and likelihood thought-action fusion (thinking about a negative event increases the likelihood that it will happen).

Scoring & interpretation
Each item is scored from 0 to 4 (from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”), which yields a total score as well as subscores for the moral and likelihood subscales. High scores indicate a strong tendency toward thought-action fusion, which can guide clinical assessment and treatment.
