On the basis of a sample of 125 adult criminal offenders and 66 students, the use of the abriged BDI as a depression screening device for felons is explored. The investigation confirms the high consistency and item-total correlations of the BDI. The factorial validity is doubtful. Only the first factor may be reidentified in different samples. A high percentage of offenders had scores at or above 8 indicating moderate or severe depression. Since offenders and students do not differ in the depression scores, the validity of the cut-off scores (Beck & Beck, 1972) may be questioned. The abriged BDI does not correlate with criminal or arrest data (e.g. number of offences, sentence length and status of imprisonment), but with other self-report measures for the assessment of self-concept or anxiety. Discriminant validity in respect to related constructs (anxiety and self-concept) cannot be expected.
基于125名成年刑事罪犯和66名学生的样本，探讨了使用简化版贝克抑郁量表（BDI）作为重罪犯抑郁筛查工具的情况。调查证实了BDI具有高度的一致性和项目总分相关性。但其结构效度存疑。只有第一个因子可能在不同样本中得到重新确认。高比例的罪犯得分在8分及以上，表明存在中度或重度抑郁。由于罪犯和学生在抑郁得分上没有差异，因此临界分数（贝克和贝克，1972年）的效度可能受到质疑。简化版BDI与犯罪或逮捕数据（如犯罪次数、刑期长度和监禁状况）无关，但与用于评估自我概念或焦虑的其他自我报告测量方法相关。无法预期其在相关结构（焦虑和自我概念）方面的区分效度。
