Three different scales of depression were administered to 108 subjects including hospitalized inpatients with a diagnosis of major depression (N = 36), inpatients on a renal service (N = 36), and nonhospitalized, healthy volunteers (N = 36). Subjects completed the Beck Depression Inventory and the Depression Adjective Checklist and were rated by a trained clinician on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Correlations were calculated for the total sample, each group individually, and a random sample of 36 (12 from each group). Results suggest that correlations are sufficiently high to advocate the use of only one measure of depression when one is assessing a heterogeneous group.
对108名受试者使用了三种不同的抑郁量表，这些受试者包括被诊断为重度抑郁症的住院患者（N = 36）、肾脏科住院患者（N = 36）以及非住院的健康志愿者（N = 36）。受试者完成了贝克抑郁量表和抑郁形容词检查表，并由一名经过培训的临床医生根据汉密尔顿抑郁评定量表进行评分。计算了总样本、每个组单独以及36名（每组12名）随机样本的相关性。结果表明，相关性足够高，足以支持在评估异质性群体时仅使用一种抑郁测量方法。
