The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is one of the most widely used self-report measures of depression in both research and clinical practice. The Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition (BDI-II) is the most recent version of the BDI. The objective of the present study was to assess the psychometric foundations of the Icelandic translation of the BDI-II, adding to its international knowledge base. Participants were in total 1454, 1206 students and 248 outpatient-clinic patients. All students completed the BDI-II and a subgroup (n=142) completed additional measures of anxiety and depression. The Mini-International Psychiatric Interview (MINI) and the BDI-II were administrated to the patients. Convergent and divergent validity of the BDI-II were supported. It discriminated satisfactorily between patients diagnosed and those not diagnosed with major depression. Confirmatory factor analyses revealed small differences between various factor models of the BDI-II, derived from previous studies. However, a model of three first-order factors (cognitive-affective-somatic) and one second-order factor (general depression) offered an acceptable description of the item covariance structure for the BDI-II in both samples. It is concluded that the psychometric properties of the Icelandic version of the BDI-II are supported in patient and student populations.
贝克抑郁量表（BDI）是研究和临床实践中使用最广泛的抑郁自评量表之一。贝克抑郁量表第二版（BDI-II）是BDI的最新版本。本研究的目的是评估BDI-II冰岛语翻译版的心理测量基础，以增加其国际知识库。参与者共有1454人，其中1206名学生和248名门诊患者。所有学生都完成了BDI-II，一个亚组（n = 142）还完成了焦虑和抑郁的其他测量。对患者进行了迷你国际神经精神访谈（MINI）和BDI-II测试。BDI-II的聚合效度和区分效度得到了支持。它在已诊断为重度抑郁症的患者和未诊断为重度抑郁症的患者之间有令人满意的区分度。验证性因素分析揭示了BDI-II不同因素模型之间存在细微差异，这些模型源自先前的研究。然而，一个由三个一阶因素（认知-情感-躯体）和一个二阶因素（总体抑郁）组成的模型，对两个样本中BDI-II的项目协方差结构提供了可接受的描述。研究得出结论，BDI-II冰岛语版本在患者和学生群体中的心理测量特性得到了支持。
