Black (N = 26), white (N = 26) and Overseas Chinese (N = 32) college students were surveyed with Zung's Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). With the exception of two items where marginally significant differences were found, there were no quantitative differences in the results across these ethnic groups. Inter-item analyses, factor analyses and comparison of factor profiles indicated that the items clustered in different configurations for the three groups. The factors contributing the most variances differed in their item contents across the ethnic groups: a mixture of affective and somatic complaints characterizes the black group; existential and cognitive concerns characterize the white group and somatic complaints characterize the Overseas Chinese group. Discussion was focused on issues concerning cultural conception of psychological difficulties, communication styles used to communicate these difficulties and situational variables affecting performances on psychological diagnostic tests.
使用zung氏自评抑郁量表（SDS）对26名黑人、26名白人和32名华裔大学生进行了调查。除了在两个项目上发现了微弱的显著差异外，这些种族群体的结果在数量上没有差异。项目间分析、因素分析和因素剖面图比较表明，这三个群体的项目以不同的结构聚类。各民族中造成最大差异的因素在项目内容上有所不同：黑人组的特点是情感和躯体不适的混合；白人组的特点是存在性和认知性问题；华裔组的特点是躯体不适。讨论集中在心理困难的文化概念、传达这些困难所使用的沟通方式以及影响心理诊断测试表现的情境变量等问题上。
