This study reports on the utilization of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Diagnostic Interview for Children and Adolescents (DICA) in a sample of 100 clinic referred adolescents. Results indicate that the BDI efficiently identified and differentiated depressed from nondepressed adolescents. In addition, greater levels of depressive symptomatology and depressive disorder were found in girls. Reasons for these general sex differences are discussed, and it is concluded that a psychological explanation appears more promising than existing biological explanations.
本研究报告了在100名转介至诊所的青少年样本中使用贝克抑郁量表（BDI）和儿童青少年诊断访谈（DICA）的情况。结果表明，BDI能够有效地识别并区分抑郁青少年和非抑郁青少年。此外，女孩中发现了更高水平的抑郁症状和抑郁障碍。文中讨论了这些总体性别差异的原因，并得出结论：心理学解释似乎比现有的生物学解释更具前景。
