The concurrent and construct validity of the MMPI-2 Depression content scale was examined for a group of 62 psychiatric inpatients. Correlation coefficients with other measures of depression, hopelessness, low self-esteem, and suicide ideation ranged from .58 to .66 and were statistically significant. Also, the Depression content scale successfully differentiated patients according to psychiatric diagnosis (depressed versus nondepressed) and assessed suicide risk (at risk versus not at risk). Thus, the concurrent and construct validities of the scale were supported.
对一组62名精神科住院患者检验了明尼苏达多项人格测验第二版（MMPI - 2）抑郁内容量表的同时效度和结构效度。该量表与其他抑郁、绝望、低自尊及自杀意念测量指标的相关系数在0.58至0.66之间，且具有统计学显著性。此外，抑郁内容量表能根据精神科诊断（抑郁与非抑郁）成功区分患者，并评估自杀风险（有风险与无风险）。因此，该量表的同时效度和结构效度得到了支持。
