The Beck Depression Inventory-II, published in 1996, was administered to 100 adult outpatients (Age M=43.1 yr., SD=15.6) who were diagnosed with a recurrent-episode Major Depressive Disorder and 100 outpatients (Age M=42.8 yr., SD=15.7) who were diagnosed with a Dysthymic Disorder. Each diagnostic group was composed of 50 men and 50 women who did not have a comorbid depressive disorder. The mean Beck Depression Inventory-II total score and the mean number of symptoms endorsed by the outpatients with a Major Depressive Disorder were significantly (ps<.001) higher than those for outpatients with a Dysthymic Disorder. The usefulness of the Beck Depression Inventory-II was discussed in helping clinicians discriminate between these two unipolar disorders.
1996年出版的《贝克抑郁量表第二版》被施用于100名被诊断为复发性重度抑郁症的成年门诊患者（年龄均值M = 43.1岁，标准差SD = 15.6）以及100名被诊断为恶劣心境障碍的门诊患者（年龄均值M = 42.8岁，标准差SD = 15.7）。每个诊断组由50名男性和50名女性组成，他们均无共病抑郁障碍。重度抑郁症门诊患者的贝克抑郁量表第二版总分均值及认可的症状平均数显著高于（p<0.001）恶劣心境障碍门诊患者。文中讨论了贝克抑郁量表第二版在帮助临床医生区分这两种单相障碍方面的效用。
