The validity of a scale for endogenomorphic depression derived from the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression was studied in 147 women outpatients with primary depression. Endogenomorphicity scores were bimodally distributed, with 53% of the sample considered high (score greater than 7) and 47% considered low for endogenomorphicity. This cutting point significantly predicted RDC (81%) and DSM-III (64%) diagnoses of endogenous or nonendogenous depression. The high-endogenomorphicity group also scored significantly higher on a number of measures of depressive symptomatology and social impairment. Further directions for research and potential applications of this scale were discussed.
对源自汉密尔顿抑郁评定量表的内源性抑郁量表在147名原发性抑郁女性门诊患者中的有效性进行了研究。内源性程度得分呈双峰分布，样本中有53%被认为内源性程度高（得分大于7），47%被认为内源性程度低。这一切割点显著预测了内源性或非内源性抑郁的研究诊断标准（RDC，81%）和《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM-III，64%）诊断。高内源性程度组在一些抑郁症状学和社会功能损害指标上的得分也显著更高。讨论了该量表的进一步研究方向和潜在应用。
