The psychometric properties of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) as a self-administered screening tool for depressive symptoms were examined in a sample of community-dwelling older and younger adults. Participants completed the BDI-II, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, the Coolidge Axis II Inventory, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Short Psychological Well-Being Scale. Internal reliability of the BDI-II was found to be good among older and younger adults. The average BDI-II depression score did not differ between younger and older adults. Solid evidence for convergent and discriminant validity was demonstrated by correlations between the BDI-II with the other measures. The BDI-II appears to have strong psychometric support as a screening measure for depression among older adults in the general population. Implications for using the BDI-II as an assessment instrument in behaviorally based psychotherapy are discussed.
在一个社区居住的老年人和年轻人样本中，对贝克抑郁量表第二版（BDI-II）作为一种自我施测的抑郁症状筛查工具的心理测量特性进行了检验。参与者完成了BDI-II、流行病学研究中心抑郁量表、柯立芝轴II量表、感知压力量表和简短心理健康量表。BDI-II在老年人和年轻人中的内部信度良好。年轻人和老年人的BDI-II抑郁平均得分没有差异。BDI-II与其他测量方法之间的相关性证明了其具有聚合效度和区分效度的有力证据。BDI-II似乎作为一般人群中老年人抑郁的筛查工具具有很强的心理测量学支持。讨论了将BDI-II用作基于行为的心理治疗评估工具的意义。
