A step-by-step analysis of Beck's and Hamilton's rating scales showed that both scales failed to differentiate adequately between moderate and severe depression measured by a global clinical assessment. Each item of the scales was tested for calibration, ascending monotonicity, and dispersion parallel to the clinical assessment. Twelve items of Beck's scale and six items of Hamilton's scale were found valid with respect to these criteria. Those items should be taken into account in future research for baseline ratings and for change ratings of depressive states quantitatively.
对贝克量表和汉密尔顿量表的逐步分析表明，这两种量表均未能充分区分通过整体临床评估所测得的中度和重度抑郁症。对量表的每个项目进行校准、升序单调性和与临床评估平行的离散度测试。就这些标准而言，发现贝克量表的12个项目和汉密尔顿量表的6个项目是有效的。在未来关于抑郁状态基线评分和变化评分的定量研究中应考虑这些项目。
