Although the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is commonly administered across a wide range of psychological disorders, its psychometric properties have not yet been examined in a non-elderly (aged 59 years or younger) adult sample of patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Completed BDIs were obtained from 48 patients with GAD (mean age=31.85 years) and 41 nonanxious control participants (mean age=30.49 years). The BDI exhibited good internal consistency in the clinical sample. Patients obtained more extreme scores on the BDI than did control participants, and patients with a comorbid mood disorder obtained more extreme scores on the BDI than did patients without a comorbid mood disorder. Patients' BDI scores correlated significantly more strongly with a clinician-administered measure of depression than with self-report measures of generalized anxiety, worry, social anxiety, or anxiety sensitivity, but not more strongly than with a clinician-administered measure of anxiety. BDI scores correlated positively with self-reported disability and negatively with life satisfaction. Overall, the BDI demonstrated good psychometric properties in this non-elderly adult sample of patients with GAD.
尽管贝克抑郁量表（BDI）通常用于广泛的心理障碍评估，但尚未在非老年（59岁及以下）广泛性焦虑症（GAD）成年患者样本中检验其心理测量特性。从48名GAD患者（平均年龄 = 31.85岁）和41名非焦虑对照参与者（平均年龄 = 30.49岁）中获取了完整的BDI数据。BDI在临床样本中表现出良好的内部一致性。患者在BDI上的得分比对照参与者更极端，患有共病情绪障碍的患者在BDI上的得分比没有共病情绪障碍的患者更极端。患者的BDI得分与临床医生评定的抑郁量表的相关性显著强于与广泛性焦虑、担忧、社交焦虑或焦虑敏感性的自我报告量表的相关性，但不比与临床医生评定的焦虑量表的相关性更强。BDI得分与自我报告的残疾呈正相关，与生活满意度呈负相关。总体而言，BDI在这个非老年GAD成年患者样本中表现出良好的心理测量特性。
