This study reports normative data of depressive mood in Brazil, using a Portuguese version of the Depression Adjective Check Lists (DACL; Lubin, 1981, in press). Participants (N = 1,063) were college students drawn from randomly selected courses in 10 Brazilian universities. Cross-cultural comparisons showed that this Brazilian sample had significantly higher depressive scores compared to Hispanic (p < .01), American (p < .01), and Israeli (p < .05) samples. The results also indicated that Brazilian females (p < .05) and young adults (p < .05) reported significantly more depressive mood than males and older adults, respectively. All reliability (internal consistency, split-half, and alternate form) and concurrent validity measures were found to be appropriate and compared well to other cross-cultural samples.
本研究报告了巴西抑郁情绪的常模数据，使用的是葡萄牙语版的抑郁形容词检查表（DACL；卢宾，1981年，即将出版）。参与者（N = 1063）是从巴西10所大学随机选择的课程中抽取的大学生。跨文化比较表明，与西班牙裔（p <.01）、美国（p <.01）和以色列（p <.05）样本相比，这个巴西样本的抑郁得分显著更高。结果还表明，巴西女性（p <.05）和年轻人（p <.05）分别比男性和老年人报告了明显更多的抑郁情绪。所有可靠性（内部一致性、分半和替代形式）和同时效度测量都被认为是合适的，并且与其他跨文化样本相比表现良好。
