Measurement invariance of the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) across gender, race, and ethnic groups was evaluated in a large sample of college students, using pooled data from 11 universities from diverse geographical regions in the United States (N = 7,369). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the fit of several possible factor structures, and the results from these analyses indicated that the BDI-II was most adequately represented by a hierarchical four-factor structure, composed of three first-order factors and one second-order factor. Results based on analyses of covariance structures indicated there was factorial invariance for this hierarchical four-factor structure across groups, suggesting that the BDI-II provides an assessment of severity of depressive symptoms that is equivalent across gender, race, and ethnicity in college students.
贝克抑郁自评量表第二版(BDI-II)在跨性别、种族和族裔群体中的测量不变性在美国不同地理区域的 11 所大学的大量大学生样本中得到了评估(N=7369)。使用来自多个大学的汇总数据,采用验证性因子分析来检验几种可能的因子结构的拟合程度,这些分析的结果表明,BDI-II 最好由一个层次结构的四因子结构来表示,该结构由三个一阶因子和一个二阶因子组成。基于协方差结构分析的结果表明,这个层次结构的四因子结构在群体中具有因子不变性,这表明 BDI-II 提供了一种对大学生中抑郁症状严重程度的等效评估,不受性别、种族和族裔的影响。
