assessment of the random version of the beck depression inventory ii
abstract
the present study compared a random version of the beck
depression inventory ii (bdi-iir, based on the work of
dahl strom, brooks, & peterson, 1990) with the standard
version in a sample of 139 university 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
. the study
also assessed various psychometric properties of the random
version, including test-retest reliability, internal
consistency, discriminant validity, and concurrent validity
using the standard bdi-ii, the zung self-rating scale (srs) ,
and the center for epidemiological studies-depression scale
(ces-d) over a two week period. in addition, the effects of
prior exposure to a depression inventory were examined. the
bdi-ii and its random counterpart did not evidence
significantly different total scores, and both were found to
have adequate and similar test-retest reliability, internal
consistency and validity. test-retest reliability was .86
for the bdi-ii and .75 for the bdi-iir. internal
consistency was found to be .87 and .85 for the bdi-ii and
bdi-iir respectively. both versions of the bdi-ii were
found to possess adequate validity with the ces-d and srs.
however, both scales also correlated very highly with the
edwards social desirability scale. lastly, pre-exposure to
depression measures did not result in decreased scores at a
later administration.
